This is great if you want to build layers of color without disturbing the layers underneath. Other colors are non-staining.

Kyanite has a large value range (it can go from really dark to really light). It is non-staining, so if you get carried away, you can bring back the white.

Don't worry that they aren't as detailed as the flowers... you want the focus to be the flowers... the stems and leaves are just supporting actors, and therefore can be a bit more simplified. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OK, now if you are having a hard time choosing favorites, no worries! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can get the full release bundle (save 10%) <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fuiq" target="_blank">HERE</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Or, just the STAMPS bundle (save 5%) <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fuip" target="_blank">HERE</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Remember, there's only a <b>LIMITED</b> number of bundles available.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now for the <b>GIVEAWAYS</b> I mentioned...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em> </em> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: start;" type="cite"><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Giveaway 1:</strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><i>CCC is giving away one stamp set from this release per designer.

The first is a dry mask like tape or vinyl, the second is masking fluid, and the third is resist. For this card I started by stamping my mice, I then cut a heart out of the middle of a piece of stencil vinyl (it is low tack) and stuck it on my card to mask out everything but the heart. I then used masking fluid to mask off the parts of the mice that are in the heart. From there I could easily paint in my heart without having to worry about getting paint where it wasn't wanted.

This is a 4 day PRE-SALE (and some giveaways!).</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">What does that mean? Well, here's the scoop:</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">-The pre-sale is 4 days long, during which you will receive FREE US shipping ($12 international)</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">-After the 4 days the items will be removed from the website for a few weeks while we wait for stock to come in. </p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">-When the stock is in, the products will be available on the website again, but no free shipping. (so don't wait!)</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">-Pre-sale orders will ship in 1-2 weeks (REMEMBER, this is a PRE-SALE).</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">-Giveaway info a little later in this post</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Now for the inspiration ...</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">This release is pretty big, and I only have 2 of the Big and Bold stamp sets to share with you today... there's also a bunch of ADORABLE Anita Jeram sets, a Lovely Legs set, and a Savvy Sentiments set, so be sure to check out the <a href="https://shrsl.com/2yyvn" target="_blank">Colorado Craft Company</a> website to see the full release.</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">(I know I usually show the whole release here on release day, but things didn't quite work out that way this time...

Using multiple colors and mixing them on the paper wet in wet can give you a lot of visual interest without having to worry too much about the tight details. You can also get great color interest in these open areas by using plenty of water and colors that separate (like the peach color I used separates into pink and yellow when you use enough water). Even glazes (thin layers of different colors applied after the previous layer is completely dry) can give you stunning results! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKV2PoExkPzThUySWiu-FDUSF3pZbEZA2__LLeihJxnnF4KuKwpicWi7tCFlCi91_1HkRs4KI24iQrjjReIsY7-Ch4761-0i6FWMTQkC9LB0DqO5S8AzjdKCquA-RiNxbcRKUXClMO8WMMe0VdaibQOhFgkCWv9HSZ1WEc6x-5CRGK90k0gNB5sXRgadrp/s1600/BB799_Rose%20Background_Kassi%20Hulet.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKV2PoExkPzThUySWiu-FDUSF3pZbEZA2__LLeihJxnnF4KuKwpicWi7tCFlCi91_1HkRs4KI24iQrjjReIsY7-Ch4761-0i6FWMTQkC9LB0DqO5S8AzjdKCquA-RiNxbcRKUXClMO8WMMe0VdaibQOhFgkCWv9HSZ1WEc6x-5CRGK90k0gNB5sXRgadrp/s320/BB799_Rose%20Background_Kassi%20Hulet.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This next one is <a href="https://shrsl.com/4due5" target="_blank">Rose Background</a>, and it is as the name suggests- a 6x6 background stamp with large roses that are fun to color!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguYmqIOZ4uEOWNHmlyAqS8Ai33BIOqbcdJcuYV4mhQx-Vu9LQq6BW6Zz9iCkezhZjGdy_aM-1aOkKixn066kK2j8UV40ks_c4r-BbZf5rl7Yll48G7hDWeixKRqKuZVCVMmlrzNDVHc3UiqLLY4gthPhGRrmbn-S3VtWj1n2DywOecC8dVwzQdbV9wy4c5/s1600/BB799_Rose%20Background_Kassi%20Hulet%20cu2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguYmqIOZ4uEOWNHmlyAqS8Ai33BIOqbcdJcuYV4mhQx-Vu9LQq6BW6Zz9iCkezhZjGdy_aM-1aOkKixn066kK2j8UV40ks_c4r-BbZf5rl7Yll48G7hDWeixKRqKuZVCVMmlrzNDVHc3UiqLLY4gthPhGRrmbn-S3VtWj1n2DywOecC8dVwzQdbV9wy4c5/s320/BB799_Rose%20Background_Kassi%20Hulet%20cu2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>TIP:</b> Sometimes it's easier to color block, and then add in the details..

Here the hat is a cool white (blue shadows) and the beard is a warm white (yellow brown shadows- with some blue in the darkest corners)).

You do have to be willing to give up some control since you can't predict or force it... however, if you are able to loosen up and let the water do the work, you can get amazing results!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">You can find the die set for this set <a href="https://shrsl.com/48y2k" target="_blank">HERE</a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyH3FoGK45cr95597noWrKHH8HJ8EMdMpaplPh_1X9FBS2K5h06q34sR1eQCaLjrzLpCfrzSaoyW1cXJ7MifHuIm2pK0kgQrssftbWc2b9fjqxmovjFtzGjIYn_QfuMCFK-uSW9hfOGbpAWulAN2_O4yop67kAuAf0j1-sDf0nNrZyJvlh5xx-s_ePWadF/s1600/AJ894_Halloween%20Friends_Kassi%20Hulet.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyH3FoGK45cr95597noWrKHH8HJ8EMdMpaplPh_1X9FBS2K5h06q34sR1eQCaLjrzLpCfrzSaoyW1cXJ7MifHuIm2pK0kgQrssftbWc2b9fjqxmovjFtzGjIYn_QfuMCFK-uSW9hfOGbpAWulAN2_O4yop67kAuAf0j1-sDf0nNrZyJvlh5xx-s_ePWadF/s320/AJ894_Halloween%20Friends_Kassi%20Hulet.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My last card features 2 sets... the <a href="https://shrsl.com/48y2h" target="_blank">Halloween Friends</a> mini has the adorable mouse and bat image with the sentiment, and <a href="https://shrsl.com/48y21" target="_blank">Halloween Background</a> was used both as a background for the little friends and to line the envelope.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibvQhJQCTulr4ePWm7_wZZ3Z_gVyjhdj1T4hfbZuMmHG-2VxqahLlS3fsaj8OLpqCXxNRfK5JgLLHs7i-N06x8MNo8eSIF5lVfvhdKV8t5eo2zSdw6vUH5p9d36Ab0IMsjJA4dJZJeaZZ5_ikfOKSY85_C5y7qCpX3KPuU5a7kymSvRyqPnfh1xT27DLvf/s1600/AJ894_Halloween%20Friends_Kassi%20Hulet%20cu.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibvQhJQCTulr4ePWm7_wZZ3Z_gVyjhdj1T4hfbZuMmHG-2VxqahLlS3fsaj8OLpqCXxNRfK5JgLLHs7i-N06x8MNo8eSIF5lVfvhdKV8t5eo2zSdw6vUH5p9d36Ab0IMsjJA4dJZJeaZZ5_ikfOKSY85_C5y7qCpX3KPuU5a7kymSvRyqPnfh1xT27DLvf/s320/AJ894_Halloween%20Friends_Kassi%20Hulet%20cu.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Tip:</b> Stamping a background stamp in light colored ink can add a lot of visual interest without pulling any focus from the main image.

The colors are incredible and they blend from one to another in beautiful ways without creating mud (even when going from green to pink!), and I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to capture that in my painting.</p><p>Adding to this, I have been sick, and haven't had a chance to do much painting this past month, so I was feeling a bit rusty with the paint brush.</p><p>If all you do is scroll through Pinterest and Instagram and see finished masterpieces, it can be easy to feel like everyone else just sits down and sneezes out perfectly colored cards every 10 minutes because you are only seeing the finished product, not the process. Even watching tutorials, they are often edited, and don't show all the experimentation, practice, and planning that happened before turning the cameras on. </p><p><b>Note:</b> I'm sure there many super talented people who can just sit down and color anything and get it perfect the first time, but I am not one of them. </p><p>My process is messy... I just don't generally choose to show the mess.</p><p>I don't "hide" the mess because I'm ashamed of it, or because I want to appear better than I am. I choose not to share it because it is a private part of my creative process.. the part that I only truly feel safe enough to explore fearlessly when no one is watching, and the cameras are all turned off. When there is no expectation, no judgement, and no audience.</p><p>However, I feel it is important to occasionally remind people that the finished masterpieces we scroll through by the hundreds (and can easily feel discouraged by if we start comparing ourselves) is only PART of the story.</p><p>So, here is a peek behind the scenes of one of my cards-</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghebgbrGGD4TbYxkqOviaGHuVdJd7C01pcXcaWo-sHSkXwtDF4f4f67I0DHkcIUv80WxW5KmbIvGOvP4mfH34_LrwZMtzjbZoAXYKZIMr9q_pD_BFKu7FFQJlQkYKeZGNMKqC1uTxqI_LIEbOcGCaEjvascn9jg-iZa2SHvQMXknRyeel_05c3ZnQSom2x/s1600/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghebgbrGGD4TbYxkqOviaGHuVdJd7C01pcXcaWo-sHSkXwtDF4f4f67I0DHkcIUv80WxW5KmbIvGOvP4mfH34_LrwZMtzjbZoAXYKZIMr9q_pD_BFKu7FFQJlQkYKeZGNMKqC1uTxqI_LIEbOcGCaEjvascn9jg-iZa2SHvQMXknRyeel_05c3ZnQSom2x/s320/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%201.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first step is choosing colors... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have a LOT of colors to choose from because I find studying colors and all their properties fascinating- you don't need this many colors. However, this is my BTS, so I start with a lot of colors!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I start by looking up images of Bird of Paradise flowers on the Internet. I then use a cheap watercolor paper to swatch colors... being sure to place colors next to each other and overlap colors that might be overlapped in the painting so I could get a feel for how the different options look together. If I mix colors, I make sure to add in notes so I can recreate a mix if I decide to use it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's messy. It probably wouldn't make any sense to anyone else, but it helps me find both the hue (the color) and the properties* I'm looking for. This isn't intended to be something I frame or even share on Instagram... this is a time for me to explore and learn.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*Properties include things like transparency/opacity, flow, and if it blends or pushes other colors when wet, granulation, etc.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I use cheap paper for this so I feel free to test as many color combinations as I want without feeling like I'm wasting money -after all the good paper is expensive!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-c2DDPjuvsFtdPDvTUbl5L6UHA61pnkwLDc01nLJTDMmzX1Uy9APOrrqTJoX8gK4QNe1fjEJiroS6JmRFaXc55NqqGPklcHvZohc0zZRoagSbYzEn-LW5lbda39n3h_uulfObK5CrBkcINXezhhAAtm7bOZN56dqLf2vrwT2FTYvqvK1uhEowSQTY_UH-/s1600/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-c2DDPjuvsFtdPDvTUbl5L6UHA61pnkwLDc01nLJTDMmzX1Uy9APOrrqTJoX8gK4QNe1fjEJiroS6JmRFaXc55NqqGPklcHvZohc0zZRoagSbYzEn-LW5lbda39n3h_uulfObK5CrBkcINXezhhAAtm7bOZN56dqLf2vrwT2FTYvqvK1uhEowSQTY_UH-/s320/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%202.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of paper, after I THINK I have figured out my colors, I do test swatches on scraps of the good paper I plan to use for the project. Paint looks and acts differently on different papers. I want to know exactly what to expect when I move to my actual piece... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I did change directions with some of the colors after testing them on this paper. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Notice again that I both layered colors and put them next to each other. This is where I'm starting to figure out what colors should be applied wet in wet (for organic blending), what colors should be painted in glazes, etc. This swatching helps me form a plan for the painting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In this case, I discovered I was going to need to do both wet in wet and glazing on almost all areas of the image... </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNd5rpdtDLbW1S4nJSsSevijpwba8jCMG9peeCHpdKz9etrViwTTp_RqGo12HhNmyT6SZ-_ZdNMJ7KkbpG6JLdWp-EjjeTJzTnVcPNzguq1pCBdUFKyn7xDRPL0UfiZe-8tC1gTWwWbZs3qLN1ZNb5vUeaQtFFyn0FwiWqoRP2RZUp1RDkB7dijtrXkTR_/s1600/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNd5rpdtDLbW1S4nJSsSevijpwba8jCMG9peeCHpdKz9etrViwTTp_RqGo12HhNmyT6SZ-_ZdNMJ7KkbpG6JLdWp-EjjeTJzTnVcPNzguq1pCBdUFKyn7xDRPL0UfiZe-8tC1gTWwWbZs3qLN1ZNb5vUeaQtFFyn0FwiWqoRP2RZUp1RDkB7dijtrXkTR_/s320/Kassi-bird%20of%20paradise%20bts%203.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p>After figuring out my colors and my plan I do a test painting. This isn't meant to look good. It's sloppy and rough, but it gives me a chance to test my plan, and practice techniques... You can see that the petals on the left look washed out, the middle petals look too harsh, and by time I got to the petals on the left I was getting the feel for how much of the yellow to use, how much pink to add, and how thick those paint colors should be (how much water). </p><p>You can also see that I wasn't having success with the green and pink blend, so I tested out a different green with more blue in it off to the side (and that's the color and technique combo I used for my final card)</p><p>This color study is done on the same kind of paper I plan to use for my project... Yes, it's the expensive good paper, but it's important to know how your paint is going to react on the paper you plan to use.</p><p>You can do this study on the back of another study, or a paper where you messed up the stamping (like this was), or large scraps from another project... I keep a box of those kinds of scraps near my table for this purpose.</p><p><b>Besides, learning isn't a waste of good supplies! Always remember that!</b></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoS8sgvdmVXRUAjkikQKBmFX7MB7_fBFvQQu9uYsAQ5CVPZWZETT7IT8bI0BvmxMpA17ZzEmLAL4Hybw64rohGVcWPDWZ35nyJUOZsTZj9OZU4dum5OCOWXETGWO3w2bCYUEkNYNEkXAiLErsk1i2RiT-j60FzA0xU46n69oKPUYbkx_a6-beO341jYywO/s1600/BB862-Bird%20of%20Paradise%20Wishing-Kassi%20Hulet%20cu.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoS8sgvdmVXRUAjkikQKBmFX7MB7_fBFvQQu9uYsAQ5CVPZWZETT7IT8bI0BvmxMpA17ZzEmLAL4Hybw64rohGVcWPDWZ35nyJUOZsTZj9OZU4dum5OCOWXETGWO3w2bCYUEkNYNEkXAiLErsk1i2RiT-j60FzA0xU46n69oKPUYbkx_a6-beO341jYywO/s320/BB862-Bird%20of%20Paradise%20Wishing-Kassi%20Hulet%20cu.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After going through the whole planning process, and doing a practice run, I can then move on to my actual project with confidence.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't always have to go through ALL those steps for every card I make.. If I'm confident in the techniques I'll need, and the properties of the colors I'm using, I'll just do swatching on the good paper and jump in to the project. On the other hand, there are times I need to take more time doing practice pieces before I can paint the image in a way I'm happy with- those are the times when I am challenging myself and pushing out of my comfort zone and into a new level.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the fine art community, thumbnails, sketches, and studies are the norm... In the card making community we often seem to want hacks and easy ways to do things that work the first time every time with little skill or learning curve required. I get it, I love quick and easy too, but if you want to take your coloring or cardmaking skills up a notch or two, you have to put in the practice. It won't always be polished, quick and easy... but it's worth it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll be back with more soon... see you then! </div><div style="text-align: center;">~Kassi<br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div>For more inspiration, follow me on:<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/k.lynne.art.paper/" style="background: repeat; color: #be37ae; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/klynneart/" style="background: repeat; color: #be37ae; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/kassicreations" style="background: repeat; color: #be37ae; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">YouTube</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div>*Affiliate links used when possible.

That's what happened with the new large glimmer sentiments from Spellbinders newest release. Usually I'm focused on the images, and the sentiment is almost an afterthought because people expect a sentiment to be on the front of a card.</p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Well, today we are shaking that up by making the sentiment loud and proud, and I'm really enjoying the change of pace! </p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Let's take a closer look!</p><div style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Please note, while Spellbinders did send me product and asked me to create with them, my opinions remain my own. </div><div style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Affiliate links have been used, this doesn't change the price you pay, but it does really help me continue bringing you exciting new content, so thank you! </span></p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First, let's take a look at <a href="https://shrsl.com/41xb8" target="_blank">Little Card Big Hello</a>... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNM6cdHKaOn3mJEaPs6E8yWDSEsl8i1HSDv1_yu_nTsqVv3cvkJpqyhYPNNhZWKK1b1gNEGa0wmAW7txM4BLW96N82Bj8M2oNTOrrVL62WOGnkfdW0shAmzIyOCkIW-jq5JRyleoUiF71mkPoVfZdm93dUV94DgmdynAwK6YLoAqQMBMymB9GUMEu1Q/s1600/Kassi-littlecard%201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNM6cdHKaOn3mJEaPs6E8yWDSEsl8i1HSDv1_yu_nTsqVv3cvkJpqyhYPNNhZWKK1b1gNEGa0wmAW7txM4BLW96N82Bj8M2oNTOrrVL62WOGnkfdW0shAmzIyOCkIW-jq5JRyleoUiF71mkPoVfZdm93dUV94DgmdynAwK6YLoAqQMBMymB9GUMEu1Q/s320/Kassi-littlecard%201.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The sentiment is BIG, while still not completely filling the space of a typical A2 card.

I know the middle is popped up, but it started as a single sheet of watercolor paper cut to 4.25x5.5. I used masking tape to create a 0.25 inch border around the panel (and also to attach it to my board). After that I just played with watercolors and water. By first wetting the whole paper, I was able to get the blue and yellow paints to mix and swirl beautifully by dripping them on and tilting my board.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKrMzqX3SmWni_JoU7lN5FLRm-WhfWdgp5K3y6BPgSVoCk584IA7Q2HLOJ4hbCoe5I5fg6B_e2YoCUg8sIPz8qkJCwfgYZXe0R3znnkvvs8j5gQBf64JBz76k2wO6TU7ydw1YbtNZh10yziaiEYeG7hqn1merkjZKUOWe8q-KKzvBrzqvYMU_xLSgIg/s1600/Kassi-littlecard%203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKrMzqX3SmWni_JoU7lN5FLRm-WhfWdgp5K3y6BPgSVoCk584IA7Q2HLOJ4hbCoe5I5fg6B_e2YoCUg8sIPz8qkJCwfgYZXe0R3znnkvvs8j5gQBf64JBz76k2wO6TU7ydw1YbtNZh10yziaiEYeG7hqn1merkjZKUOWe8q-KKzvBrzqvYMU_xLSgIg/s320/Kassi-littlecard%203.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once the background was dry, I foiled the large rectangle (which fit nearly perfectly on my slightly imperfect paint edge), and the sentiment in <a href="https://shrsl.com/41xb3" target="_blank">Opaque Black</a>.

I have been REALLY slow to jump on the 3D embossing folder wagon. I have a small collection of regular embossing folders from years ago that are just gathering dust because I don't use them. My art has changed over the years, and I just didn't see much need for embossing folders in my current style. </p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Until a couple weeks ago.. </p><p style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I was contemplating updating my die cut machine with the Universal Platform, but was having a hard time justifying it since I don't use embossing folders very often. While pondering this (and let's be honest, procrastinating what I was <i>supposed</i> to be doing...) my brain had one of those <b><i>"I wonder if...."</i></b> moments. </p><div style="text-align: center;">I've learned to listen to those "I wonder if..." thoughts; not just 'googling' the answer, but actually trying it out for myself.

The Satin Lavender and Satin Pewter look so amazing together! I started with the Modern Lines in Satin Lavender and added some splatters from Splatter Sentiments on top in Satin Pewter. While it looked lovely, it needed more dimension, and this is where the Fluttering By butterflies saved the day. The foil plate foils a bunch of butterflies that can be used as a background or border. The set also comes with some dies so you can die cut the foiled butterflies too. So I foiled the butterflies in the Satin Pewter, die cut them, then folded the wings slightly. I added glue just to the bodies and let the wings flutter.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLApDOxnlbcYZWUpG9Bjexp0oqmN-qU7PuKoT0V4evx0DtutAxpRfdPwwabxAWUA5RZzjdFOwUHy-90A-wxijbNsqKAjgYezdXHBUKT-4L8wNjqmOAVs9xT9qLM1P0iq_geu3QS8uwcbXT40DwvsK53KRISpqS-NJ4BQfvIGdWNOZWUhdk1LBVliTMzQ/s3024/Kassi-Hulet-2023-GLP-376%20cu2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLApDOxnlbcYZWUpG9Bjexp0oqmN-qU7PuKoT0V4evx0DtutAxpRfdPwwabxAWUA5RZzjdFOwUHy-90A-wxijbNsqKAjgYezdXHBUKT-4L8wNjqmOAVs9xT9qLM1P0iq_geu3QS8uwcbXT40DwvsK53KRISpqS-NJ4BQfvIGdWNOZWUhdk1LBVliTMzQ/s320/Kassi-Hulet-2023-GLP-376%20cu2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The sentiment comes from Stylish Oval Thanks.

If you are stamping with dark lines that will show, you may need to do a little bit of touch up line work since the mask will be slightly larger than the stamp, but it isn't bad, and it is a whole lot easier than hand cutting it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like to use Oracle Stencil 813 Film for my masks... it cuts easily, removes cleanly, and because it is vinyl, it can handle being used over and over- even if I use techniques that involve water.

So I die cut the pieces and started playing with different arrangements, and ended up really liking the pots all clustered together. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Don't give up if the first idea doesn't work out as well as you imagined it- it's ok to pivot, to try something different, or go in a different direction than you initially started. Not everyone comes up with a perfect design on the first attempt even if that's what it looks like on YouTube and Instagram.
