Paper Pumpkin Monday: Circles and Stripes for March 2016
There is always a lot to use in each kit! The stamp set and ink spot are the main features for me, especially since I use my MISTI so much. Ink spots make the MISTI even better! The papers and the "bits and pieces" in each kit always thrill me. I love to see what else I can use them for.

Paper Pumpkin Monday: Dragonflies Just for You
The dragonflies are die cut from an otherwise failed watercolor experiment. I was trying for a series of greens for a background, but it turned out too dark. I even added some Gold Wink of Stella, but I couldn't visualize a finished card with the resulting watercoloring, so I set it aside. A few weeks later, I was looking for something to die cut with my new dragonfly dies, and the discarded background caught my eye. I realized that with the shimmer added to it, it was perfect! I have a few other cards I made using this technnique that I will share in the upcoming weeks.
Never throw away watercoloring, even if you don't love it at first!

Paper Pumpkin Monday: Pocketful of Cheer and Gold Wink of Stella
These are the last few days of Sale-a-bration 2016!
To get this effect, I used a clear acrylic block as a palette. I added Bermuda Bay ink, Pool Party ink, and Gold Wink of Stella. A couple spritzes of water made them all flow together, and I quickly used the block as a stamp on my Thick Whisper White cardstock. I re-stamped a few times till all the ink was (mostly) off the block.
In real life, there is a sheen of gold over the whole piece, but it's really hard to capture the subtle effect in a photo! Add a little Wink of Stella to your next project and watch it shine!

Paper Pumpkin Monday: Watercolor Gold Balloons for Grad
I've been playing with watercoloring and the Gold Wink of Stella recently, and a couple of those experiments went into this card. The balloons were made with some dark Bermuda Bay wash on Thick Whisper White. I didn't end up liking the result as a card background, but I think it's stunning on the balloons!
The actual card background is Bermuda Bay re-inker mixed with Gold Wink of Stella on an acrylic block. I spritzed it a bit with water then pressed the color onto a panel of watercolor paper. I love the way it turned out, and I thought all the gold accents really made it festive.
