I know that I was not the only kid on the planet who would go crazy for some art supplies as a gift. Everyone should dabble with paint at some point...and why not get into it as an adult? I have an aunt in her 70's who just discovered how well she can paint...how cute is that? It's a fairly inexpensive hobby and it's oh' so fulfilling...at least I think so :) My set includes canvas paper, paint brushes, some paint and watercolor pencils, a paint tray and a cute bird house to paint!
I stamped the flowers with fresh snow ink and colored them with colored pencils.
Isn't this mini paint can absolutely darling???
and of course, a card that compliments this set perfectly.
Stamps: Friendship Jar, Friendship Jar Fillers
Ink: Fresh Snow
Paper: Kraft
Other: Scalloped die cut, label die cut, Mini Paint Can, orange zest, raspberry fizz, new leaf and Hawaiian shores ribbon
I hope that you will take some time to devour all of the designs by the Papertrey Team...feast your eyes:
- *Nichole Heady
- Betsy Veldman
- Dawn McVey
- Debbie Olson
- Erin Lincoln
- Heather Nichols
- Lisa Johnson
- Maile Belles
- Melissa Phillips
- Mish Wooderson

These very talented girls will show how to use this simply amazing set to it's utmost potential! I want you to take the tour, so I don't want to give away too much about this sweet concept, but let's just say that it's ummmm WOW!!
