Her compositions are exquisit and while I love this style a lot I tend to fill my cards with color, color and more ... you guessed it: color! So I should take a cue from you and try to copy some of those treasures to let some whites and neutral into my card world. Makes for quicker cards too.<br />Your series has already sharpened my eyes -- noticed all those differences you point out when I first studied Kate's card before looking at yours. And I LOVE the sewing -- noticed it with other artists' works as well. Twine in any form just makes for great texture. Some of my favorite cards (I made years ago) used twine and I had since forgotten about it. Time to unpack the twine and start practicing less coloring...<br />On a very different note, I believe your card is the very first one I have seen that uses the flower from the "beautiful day" stamp set that I did not recognize as such. I mean that as a compliment. Shows how creatively and variedly you use your stamp sets and that is very inspiring to me (and I'm sure, to many of your readers). I noticed that with your card made with the butterfly garden (by PB) as well. Great work.<br />And as always thank you so very much for sharing and inspiring! I can't wait for the next installment of this series.<br />Best wishes,<br />CaroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-59704578470761164712019-06-20T13:40:12.895-04:002019-06-20T13:40:12.895-04:00I do enjoy these posts.

I wonder if a person is born with the CAS gene? Your comparison notes are interesting.

Personal taste does make a difference when inspired. I like the bolder colors but prefer her diagonal line.

Perhaps I need to break out my sewing machine.

I've been thinking about you. Love your card and your lesson. I did not know Ekaterina, but I'm following her now. Like you, some of my most favourite card makers are from Russia and eastern Europe. And western Europe too. And Asia and Australia. Well, really all over the world. But those Russian girls have something extra special, LOL.Diana Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679055447041475703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-58337363707732793162019-06-19T10:07:45.765-04:002019-06-19T10:07:45.765-04:00I've not followed you for very long so I had t...I've not followed you for very long so I had to go to the post to read all about what this feature is. What a fabulous idea to refresh your style, learn new skills or get reminder of skills you've used in the past but forgot them.

I have noticed that Explorer is giving me fits on occasion, so I open the blog post with Edge and that allows that comment box to open - just thought I'd share that. <br />Kate is new to me, so thanks for the intro! I love your bold rendition of Kate's card, Joan! I like that you're feeling 100% even more! Keep up the good work... xx<br />=]I Card Everyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200280765111026506noreply@blogger.com
