Watercolor Trio

Today's card uses several new products featured in the Summer Mini. The Watercolor Trio Stamp Set is gorgeous! I Love it, because like it's name states, it looks like a watercolor painting. I kind of CASE'd this card; Copy And Share Everything, from another Demonstrator. That is one of the many perks of being a Demonstrator, we all Love to share our ideas with everyone. She had made a card similar to this, same color scheme and stamp set, but I changed it up a bit so it wouldn't be a complete copy.

Other new products used were the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and the Bitty Buttons. The embossing folders are an excellent way to add texture to your projects. Just put your cardstock in the folder and run it through your Big Shot. It's that simple! You can use them on cards like I did here, or customize your own embellishments for your scrapbook pages. Imagine texturizing the letters for your title, or chipboard shapes, the possibilities are endless.

The Bitty Buttons are just too cute. There are 64 in a package. 16 clear buttons each of 4 different shapes; heart, circle, flower, and scallop circle. And that's not all! There are coordinating punches for the circle, flower and scallop, sold in an Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. I used the Small Heart Punch that was sold in the Occasions Mini Catalog, behind my heart button. It's not a perfect fit, but I think it looks just fine. The colors I used are Not Quite Navy and Garden Green, two colors that will be staying with us as Core Colors when the New Catalog is released in July. The ribbon is Mellow Moss Satin. The color doesn't look great in my photo, but it really does blend nicely in person. Mellow Moss has always been one of my favorite colors. It will be retiring the end of June.

Have you looked at the list of colors that we are wishing a Fond Farewell? Don't wait too long. You don't want to miss out on getting your favorites before they are gone for good!
