Watercolor Winter Card Kit ......the other 2

Here we go with the rest of the kit.  I love the look of these cards.  They do not look like a kit!

This card uses the woodgrain background but it is hard to see in the picture.  Lots of letter in this kit.  These were water colored woth Bermuda Bay and the paint brush, then clued with Tombow to the card.  The vellum Holly was colored with Old Olive ink, the Gold Glimmer paper dots were popped out and added.  Christmas wast stamped on the pre-cut banner in Old Olive.  Sequins from the kit were scattered and I also added a few flakes from "Frosted Sequins" in the new Holiday catty.

The background of this card is Smoky Slate stripes done with the paint brush.  I was a bit imtimidated, but must say it was pretty easy and will use this technique on many cards to come.  The letters are all together so you color, then add glue to the tops and add to the twine to form a banner look.  Another Vellum snowflake and sequins.  I did add one Frosted flake and sequin to the center to cover my glue dot. 

My card:

This Snowflake was sponged with Pistachio Pudding ink, the lighter green in the Designer Paper stack from the Holiday catalog.  I added some of the Frosted sequins to the Snowflake, Silver Foil paper behind the designer paper and a Slim Silver trim bow.  Joy is from Bright & Beautiful and is stamped in the Silver encore ink.
