happy birthday!



Yes, I am LOVING the February Artful Delight card kit:


It's not necessarily a color palette I gravitate towards but with my new found love of watercolors, I'm super digging it.

I don't feel like I have the prima bloom knowledge but isn't that one sweet on the belly band?  The color wash that it has is perfect for all the wonderful papers in the kit.  I splashed the center panel with the heidi swapp color shine.

The Paper Smooches sentiment is one of two Paper Smooches sets that comes in the kit!  Can you believe it?!  The ink, Hero Hues, is my new black favorite that came in the December kit.

I was inspired by Laura's



I'm sure I'm one of many to be thrilled that Laura is back sketching, creating and blogging!

This really does have that fun watercolor look that I'm crushing on big time these days. Gorgeous paper and bloom combo. Looks awesome with the bold black of the sentiment and I really love the bit of color shine splash, too! Great take on Laura's cute sketch! It really is fabulous that she's back!

This card is beautiful!!! I am loving the new watercolor lines too! That is a great kit, not cheap, but you get a lot of stuff! Somehow I still don't own any Paper Smooches! How can that be?! Maybe I should use my SSS gift certificate on some of those...haha
