There are some super-cute new kits available today for amazing prices and lots of other fabulous sales too (see the banners at the end of this post!).
I have 3 cards meant to inspire you.
First up is the Glowing & Beautiful Kit from Angie Blom. Don't forget that she is one talented artist and does so much more than just her Angie Girls. This kit has a beautiful image and 2 sentiments. The panel for the image is die cut with a Sizzix die and then splattered using a Tim Holtz stencil and distress ink. The light bulbs were colored with Prismacolor pencils and then fussy cut and popped on with foam tape. I added a few sequins and there you have it.
Here's one from Tierra Jackson called Speedy. I did the background first with distress inks and a lots of water to get the feel of him being in the water. (TIP: Tape your watercolor paper down with painter's tape on all four sides. This helps the panel to stay flat as it dries.) Speedy is colored with distress markers. I added some Stickles to the hearts and a few extra little water bubbles. I finished this off with a wooden heart that I colored red to add a pop of color.
