Watercolor Wishes and watercoloring

So since I still have the box of Watercolor Wishes Card Kit on my desk I had to make another card with the base supplies and came up with the little card...

And actually, I really only used one of the 4 by 4 cards that has a water-colored splash on it in Watermelon Wonder...

I stamped the rose in VersaMark and heat embossed in black... then water colored it.... Stamped the greeting and thought it could use some more. I cut the card down so it would be a 3 3/4 square once folded ...Then I added the textured border and some splattering and then layered it onto a black 4 inch square... 

Here is a closer look so you can see how shiny the embossed lines are:

AGAIN - this shows that you are NOT limited to what the kit instructions show you. Be a rebel and use the items as YOU see fit!

Watercolor Wishes Card Kit

So ever since the main catalog came out, I've been using the stamp set from the Watercolor Wishes Card kit... but had not made a card yet...

Today was the day! I was in a bind and that kit sure came handy!

I took a quick look at the enclosed instruction sheet and started out to make the card as pictured. But then I just couldn't help myself and pulled out other stuff... the 2 ribbons and butterflies are not supposed to be on there ... or are they? Well... like I always say... It's my card, so I changed it up ;-) and like it!

That just shows that you can use the kits as a starting point and get creative as wanted...

Witching

This morning I got together with a couple of ladies and we made the witches hat. It is soooooo cool and not hard to make!

See... it turned out just like in the catalog:

And the nice thing...EVERYTHING is pre-cut for you... yay... All we had to do is assemble, stamp and decorate. I will post the video from Stampin' Up on the very bottom later... We had tons of supplies left over and made 2 Halloween cards:

Please keep in mind that I've use more inks than required so we all didn't use the same ink for each step and didn't have wait on one another..
