Wow, today must be a good day for me. I received two great emails this morning. The first one was from Pals Paper Arts informing me that I was one of the Pals Paper Arts Artist Picks for last week! Awesome! They sent me a winner's badge that I have displayed on the right side of my blog! This is the post where all 3 winners were listed.

A few hours later when I checked my email again, I received another email from Mojo Monday telling me that I was a winner in last week's monthly challenge. You can view my card on this post along with the other winners.

How exciting!!

Okay, now back to work. This is the card I have chosen to show you today:


The stamp set I used is Garden From The Heart. It is being offered in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Did you know that this catalog is almost gone forever? It expires on April 30th and will be replaced with the new Summer Mini. As demonstrators, we were given the chance to view all the new goodies that will be available to you on May 1st. Oh my, prepare yourself, lots and lots of awesome stuff coming. Remember also, that the Sale-A-Bration Catalog expires on March 31st, only a few short weeks left to get free stuff!

Back to my card.....cardstock used was Brilliant Blue, Brocade Blue, & Whisper White. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on one edge of two layers. I used my Big Shot to cut out a tag from the Two Tags Die.

Since I was going to watercolor, I decided to use my Black Staz On Ink Pad to avoid any smudging. Just yesterday, I received my Aqua Painter Set...........what is an Aqua Painter you ask? It is a tool used for controlled watercoloring. It has a reservoir that you fill with water (comes in two sizes) and is much less messy than using water and a paint brush. I had never used one before and had been eyeing them for quite some time. I LOVE IT! You just dab the edge in your water color pencils and paint! You decide how much water to add by squeezing the barrel as you color. Once I completed the coloring, I added a small flower from the Boho Blossoms Punch and added a Clear Rhinestone Brad to the center. I finished off my card with a 5/8" sliver of Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon. I tied a Clear Button in the middle, added a sentiment from the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set and used the Wide Oval Punch shape for that and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.
