It's my day off but I have a LOT of projects that need to get done so I chose Melting Hearts (mistakenly) thinking it would be the quickest and easiest . . . I found it much harder than the artist made it look. I guess time had made me forget that I always struggle with wet on wet. Hopefully I'll have some off time over the weekend to try the cookies which in retrospect might be easier . . . .

Good job painting around the hearts and the hearts are so pretty. You should try the macaroons. They were so fun. Have fun on your day off.

I, too, thought it was harder than it looked. I threw my first attempt away. Guess that's why they call them a challenge!!
I really like how yours turned out and it's a lovely Anniversary card.

I really like how billowy your background looks with the soft bursts of colors. You created some beautiful shadows. My disappointment doing this technique was the bleeding of the red into the hearts. Red is difficult to control. Like to try different ways to learn new things. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us. I always learn something from you. TFS

I think this turned out super I watch these videos on mute with the CC on, so if they do not have CC its just a visual thing to me and I think yours look just like what I remember seeing

REally pretty, Linda, the hearts have misty and magical quality. Makes a wonderful anniversary card. So cool. Hugz
