If you came from Joanne's Blog then you are in the right place!

I created 3 cards using backgrounds that I had created.  One is using Gloss Acrylic Spray, one Distress Oxides and the last one is using watercolour paints.

 

This first card I used a sprayed background using Ocean Gloss Spray.  The Butterfly is from our National Scrapbooking Month special.  It has 3 layers.  The 1st is White CS, the end is a watercolour creation the top layer is the Dreamy Holographic Paper.  I added Steel Stickles for embellishment. The sentiment is from Shoot for the Moon.  See the next image for a close up of the layers and holographic paper.

The 2nd card I created I used a Distress Oxide background and the Shoot for the Moon stamp set.  

The final card I made is using a watercoloured paint background.  I placed 3 different colours of paint onto our large block and dragged the paper over top of the paint.  Then I stamped the images and sentiment in black ink.  The stamp set is Floral Borders & Sentiments.

We will be featuring some of our favorite products from this new catalog! If you have come here from Cat Nowak's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. 

This month we have approximately 17 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using these brand new products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I had so much fun created these cards to share with you.  They are so very different from most things I've shared with you in the past.

For this first card I used watercolour paints that I applied to the large acrylic block in a rainbow, I think used White Cardstock and drug it across the top of the paints.  Next I used the new Sunburst Thin Cut on White Daisy Cardstock to lay overtop the watercolours.  The little chick and sentiment is from the So Tweet Stamp and Thin Cut set.

These 2 cards are using the Floral & Sentiments stamp set.  I used a combination of Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers and other marker in my collection to colour the images.  I love them both.  

Finally, the final card is using our watercolour pencils on the Distress Watercolour paper, I then used the Moments With You Stamp and Thin Cut set to create the card, the embellishments is the Black enamel dots.
