The first kit was mine with an embossed background and a side panel die-cut. The kits were available in all colors: pink, purple, blue, green and teal. There was a script embossing folder and a swirls embossing folder to use depending on the purpose and desired background of the individual crafter. This example has a script embossed background.
The side panels were cut with a Spellbinders label die-cut in two sized and colors. This example used only one larger panel on the folded side (left) since the coordinating color was used for the card base and the embossed sentiment (and no extra scraps were available!). The daisy with the rhinestone center was purchased and added to anchor the sentiment and to tie the white lace and white embosssed background together using the Rule of Three. The light green paper was pearlized for a nice sheen.
Bonnie's kits included several patterns of black and white papers cut in strips and applied to the black background cardstock. She had die-cut the lace borders in two different patterns. She had also die-cut the leaves and flowers which she had pre-stamped. We daubed the flowers to fill in more color on the white cardstock and used a marker to darken the shading. Some glitter added pizzazz to the blooms. Each crafter chose a different sentiment.
Sue brought kits to make a square card with an autumn color scheme. She had the Almost Navy cardstock for the card base pre-cut and scored to fold. We die-cut the scalloped circle and stamped the middle circle with a two-step stamp set, using a Stamp a Ma-jig to place the fill color and sketched outline correctly. The background leaves were double off-stamped and misted with water to create a shadowy effect. The yellow-orange ink pad was called Saffron. Great color!
