I did some watercoloring with my ink refills. I heat embossed with Versamark, and Su Gold embossing powder, then with a waterbrush and refill, I colored in the beautiful Peony from Prized Peony Bundle. I used Garden Green as the base, Forever Greenery DSP, Fluid 100 Watercolor paper, Basic Black CS, as well as White embossing powder. Basic Rhinestones.

Celebrate Sunflowers #154065.  I is such a beautiful collection!!  It is great for coloring with Stampin' Write markers.

Stampin' Up news...  June 3rd is the launch date of the new Stampin' UP Annual Catalog!!!  EEk I am so excited, I can not wait.  As a demonstrator, I get to Pre-Order select items from the new catalog. I just placed my order and now I am stalking the UPS guy!
