12 Kits of Occasions: February Watercolor Wonders

Well Hello there, and welcome to February 12 Kits of Occasions!
It's my month and I chose a watercolor theme.


Lindsey put together this gorgeous collage of the kit!


Watercolor Wonders!
I'm seeing watercolors everywhere in the card world, from a spash of color
on a die cut, to working a background, we're all loving the 
dreamy free form splashes of color. 
Can't wait to see what the talented designers of 12 Kits do this month, 
and there's a guest designer too, 
Marcia Hill from Marcia's Stampin' Pad.
I think I got carried away with the joys of card making with my own kit! (LOL!)
Not even going to tell you how many cards I made, just scroll on down and hopefully enjoy!


This effect came about with rock salt.
Have you used it with wet color? It soaks up the paint, and leaves this 
crazy texture!


Haven't been able to put Bold Blossoms away ever since my PTI order came!
Last month!


Hard to see, but this one's been sprayed with Imagine Fireworks.


I sent everyone the designer paper peeking out on the left, & added the fuchsia watercolor on the paper's butterflies with my Zig pens.


Anyone recognize this older rubber stamp from Stampington?


Loved painting these gorgeous magnolia blossoms  from Altenew!


If I had to pick a favorite, it's the way this bg within the frame turned out.
Sometimes the sweetest accidents just happen with watercolors!


This fun tag was included in the kit, along with the congrats tag.



I'm closing with this card using a Waltzingmouse stamp set.
I just heard Claire is closing down her company.
We have all loved her charming stamps and dies, and
hate to see her go. To read more, visit ...WMS is closing and send some love!
Well that's it!

You're in for a treat with the rest of the designers.
Don't miss a single one!

You'll find a full list of supplies on the 12 Kits of Occasions Website.

Marcia's a lucky gal to be your guest!

  2. OMG Nancy! This kit was a DREAM! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed playing with the watercolors! All the images were perfect and I don't know how you pulled it all together. I love all of your beautiful cards - the watercolor makes each and every one so unique and a total feast for the eyes. I love the tie dye look of your framed butterfly and the teacups with the die cut watercolor background on the pattern paper! Thank you so much for this wonderful kit!

  7. Oh my goodness Nancy! You sent us the mat amazing kit unlike anything we have had before. All I can say is that I had so much fun playing with it and still so much more I can do! Now there are 10 projects here by the way-lol each one is unique and just amazing. You definitely have a knack for backgrounds. I am still working on the light touch. So happy to have you as part of the team your first kit was awesome.

  9. I am not surprised to see a huge number of stunning cards here, as your kit was so amazing. I loved creating with it--clearly so much time, thought and $$ went into this kit. I cannot pick a favorite, as I love all of your projects, but perhaps the last--whimsical hearts, combined with a coffee and donuts--just too much fun. Thanks again for sending out such an amazing kit. I had such fun working with it.

  11. I completely expected to be blown away by your projects and somehow you even exceeded those expectations! Honestly, I'm so in awe! I've been studying each one wondering how you did this it how you did that. So wishing we could have a little craft session together and you could teach me all of your tricks! Thank you for this beautiful kit and for being so generous because I cannot wait to try to recreate some of your beauties.
