The 12 Kits of Occasions: February, 2016

It's time for our February 12 Kits of Occasions post.  This month, Nancy is our hostess, and she sent a wonderful and enormous kit, filled with everything one would need to color and paint up a storm. Her theme is Watercolor Wonder, and I had so much fun playing with everything in the kit.  I was even able to try some new techniques with some of the goodies she sent.

Of course, I have lots of leftovers as well. I can't wait to see what everyone else did with their supplies so I can CASE them with my leftovers.

Here is a peek at the kit Nancy sent out.

I made 6 cards before I ran out of time.

I used distress inks to water color these gold embossed flowers that Nancy included.  There were 3 flowers in the kit, and I painted and fussy cut 2 of them.  

I brushed a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress ink under the flowers and used a gold glitter die cut sentiment.

This entire card front came to me already stamped.  All I had to do on this one was add the die cut sentiment and paint the flowers and leaves.

I used a few different colors of Distress Inks for my watercoloring.

Nancy sent this card front with the gold embossed sentiment, and I added the gold jewels and black enamel hearts.

This next card came together in a quick moment.  Nancy sent several sentiments heat embossed in black on vellum.  I chose one to fit in the frame, and just added a bit of gold gel pen to the inner frame layer.

How fabulous are these donuts?  They are zero calories--no fat or sugar either.

I colored the donuts with copics, used a very thin marker to add sprinkles, and then added a heavy layer of Glossy Accents.

Nancy included some large salt crystals in her kit, and I used them to create some interest to the water colored panel behind this butterfly die.

I added my own sentiment to this card, stamped and embossed on vellum, so I did not have to cover up much of these pretty butterflies.

Here is another peek at a card I posted last week here.  I was able to use the masking fluid that Nancy included in her kit to play along with last week's Make it Monday.

I used so many of the elements in this kit, but still have so much left over. Thanks so much, Nancy, for sending such a wonderful kit.

That's it for me today.  Please visit us over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog, where you can see a list of all the other designers and click over to their blogs.  Our special guest designer this month is Marcia Hill.  Please stop by to visit Marcia to see what she has done with her kit.
