12 Kits of Occasions January '19 - Good Fortune


Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions! We're a blog hop featuring a 
different kit each month by a different kit member. This month we 
received an Asian theme by our friend Jeanne Jackna with bright happy
papers, sweet Asian dolls and a kimono, fortune cookies... well come have a 
look. I made six cards, and have wonderful images left over to do more.


Jeanne included this die kimono which I backed with one of dp she sent. I fussy cut the 
flowers from the leftovers and foam mounted it onto a watercolor I painted.
 (Jeanne even sent watercolor card stock to make it easy!)


Gave these dolls a setting on a Poppystamps leafy plate.


I gave this doll her own setting on a Hero Arts die cut shaker colored with Magicals.


Couldn't help but pair the Chinese take out with a designer sushi & chopsticks paper! 
Added a handle to the box with a piece of wire bent and shaped. 
PTI Shape Shifters Square: 2 cut from Berry Sorbet Cardstock


This cutie was colored with copics and I added the pattern on her kimono.
The gold screen was a piece cut from a PTI Bold Borders: Arabesque die.


Jeanne sent the temple die, and gold coin, along with the embossed bg card stock. 
I added a bit of magicals to the temple, and mounted it on Pink Cardstock.

You're in for a treat this month.
We are welcoming a new member, Kara Lynn Pogreba! Can't wait to see 
 what she does with the kit. 
And Jeanne has invited not one, but 3 guests! 

All supplies are listed on the 12 Kits' blog.

Thanks for the visit!

HLS October Watercolor Challenge: Optional Gold!


Hi everyone! It's October 1st and time for another HLS Watercolor Challenge!
This time, with an optional twist... Gold.


Watercolor + Gold = yes please!


My die cut grand leaf is from PapertreyInk, and is called Enclosed: Leaf.
From watercolor paper I cut the leaf, and wet painted with my pan watercolors. Then gold embossed the 2nd or top rim and sentiment with gold embossing powder.
The panel is Wonky Stitched from My Favorite Things.
The leaf veins were first stamped and then spritzed with water.
Sequins from Buttons Galore and More.


Play along all month for a $20. gc at Happy Little Stampers!

See you in the lineup!
