Wet Paint

Hi there! Welcome to day one of the March Papertrey Ink countdown. I'm here today to share a few samples using one of this months new set... Wet Paint (designed by Nichole Heady). This stylish set features large words in a trendy paint stroke look and are perfectly sized to be used as a focal point, a background or supporting some of your favorite images. It's a wonderful set to play around with!

Keep in mind that this set will be available for purchase beginning March 15th at Papertrey Ink.

So, let me get right to today's projects...

First up, a Wet Paint sentiment supporting a stamped watercolor background. I hand stamped this watercolor stripe background using the Watercolor Wonder stamp set in a color combo of Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist and Harvest Gold.

The "Happy" sentiment was stamped onto the top portion of a die cut panel, die cut using the smallest die from the Tipped Tops die collection. Only the top portion was attached and the rest was cut away by hand. Then finished this card off with a sprinkling of coordinating sequins.

As I mentioned above, this set is great for creating strong focal points. A strong focal point is sometimes all you need when creating a simple one-layer card.

This card was stamped using the heart circle, "enjoy" and "your day" from the Wet Paint set. I simply stamped them in a color combo of Ocean Tides, Sweet Blush and Melon Berry.

Last but not least... a background! Such an easy technique that takes no time at all. I chose a few words included in the set and stamped them, nestled one next to the other, across the front the card base. Sticking with the color combo of the day... Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist and Harvest Gold.

Then finished the card off with a butterfly sequin and enamel dots from my stash.

Well, that concludes today's look at Wet Paint. Just remember... this set will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning March 15th.
