sweetsteph card creations: Studio Calico ROUNDABOUT cards AND a WINNER!

Hi!

I'm here tonight to share the cards I made with the new ROUNDABOUT kits from Studio Calico! I'm seriously IN LOVE with the kits this month- I still have so much playing to do!

Here's what I've made so far (full supply lists can be seen in my GALLERY!)

I had SO much fun with the stamps in the Roundabout Card Kit this month! I started by stamping the cross pattern repeatedly to make my own pattern. Then, I colored some of the crosses in to coordinate with the Pier "Carousel" paper! I am absolutely in love with the sentiment, too!

When I saw the stamp set in the Coconut Grove Card Kit Add-on, I knew that I had to have that kit! The mix and match balloons are super fun and this set is PERFECT for quick birthday cards!
On this one, I stamped several balloons and colored them with Copic markers. I used my colorless blender to make some fun designs on a few of the balloons!

I love it when there are fun little bits on 12x12 paper that you can cut out and use on cards! This sentiment is from a sheet in the Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! Love it and knew that I was going to make a card with it the second I saw it!
The Coconut Grove Card Add-on Kit comes with 2 beautiful rolls of Hemptique twine this month! I used the green here!
And check out those super sweet pink dots! They're called "Candi Mini's" and they're in the Coconut Grove Card Add-on, too!

This card features products from the beautiful Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! I LOVE the feminine florals in this kit- they pair so nicely with the metallic bits! These copper alphas are BEAUTIFUL!

am having so much fun with the Peerless Transparent Watercolor Papers! On this one, I watercolored over the mask from the Savannah Shore Add-on- it created this really fun pattern! Then, I went over it with some watered down copper mist and also sprayed the mist lightly. I finished it off with some gold stars (stamp from the Coconut Grove Card Add-on) and this amazing sentiment (stamp from the Roundabout Card Kit). LOVE the way it turned out!

I used a lot of lovely digital items for this card! I have been LOVING these beautiful Digital Layout Templates and this month is no different! I started with Roundabout Digital Compass Frame and then added some fun Digital Stamp Brushes: Roundabout Card Kit Brushes and Project Life Brushes! I printed it out and adhered it to a card base- super easy and really fun!

Like I said- I feel like I have so much more I want to create with these beautiful kits! Hopefully I'll have some TIME soon and I'll post something!

Now it's time to announce a WINNER!
