Betsy had a few additional images that she designed that would not fit in the main set, so she tucked them into this wonderful mini additions set! It includes two step images for feathers and circles that can be layered to create even more stamped "watercolor" style focal points.

- The largest circle measures 1-3/8" x 1-1/8".

The extra flourishes can be added to the ends of the words for added length. Not to mention these cover a huge variety of occasions!

There is a die collection included with this kit that creates cut-outs for nearly every image in the set. This means you will be able to layer and cut-out your images with ease! Most of the dies have an open aperture so you can stamp and then cut!
Betsy selected some fabulous variegated twine that has a "watercolor look". This hemp twine has a hefty 20lb. weight to it making it great for wrapping cards, tying tags and all sorts of applications. There is a total of 6-1/2 yards (20 feet) of twine in two different color schemes. This is the Pastel version which includes shades of aqua, lavender and violet.
Taffy is in amazing shades of yellow, melon and pink. Just imagine how amazing this will look paired up with the soft look of the watercolor images you create! The best part is you get BOTH colors, no need to choose!!!
Also included in the kit is four sheets of 6" x 6" sticky back canvas. This thick, high-quality canvas is perfect for die-cutting and creating custom canvas stickers and labels, just like the expensive ones you find in stores! Except you get to choose the colors, shapes and sizes to add to your projects. You can stamp on this surface as well as paint it, using multiple combinations of all of the products included in this kit!
The peel and stick design of these sheets make it a breeze to work with and I know you will enjoy everything you create with it!
We have already hear customers loud and clear that they are in love with these fabulous Rainstones that Betsy is introducing with this kit! Made from a high-quality clear acrylic, these clear domes look like water droplets on paper, with none of the mess or drying time involved with typical products that give you a similar look.
You get an entire test tube filed with these sweet little gems, so you can use them on literaly hundreds of projects! You get approximately 250 to 300 Clear Rainstones in this mix of both 3mm and 5mm versions!
We researched high and low to find you the BEST watercolor paper on the market. These white soft press watercolor sheets are made by the world famous Fabriano company. Fabriano's Artistico papers are mould-made of 100% cotton and are acid-free/pH neutral and chlorine-free. Artistico is the only paper that offers a "soft press" sheet, a luxurious texture that falls between hot press and cold press. Papers are luxurious yet durable and can handle lifting and scraping without compromising their integrity.
You will get a total of ten sheets measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" each. Like the canvas, you can stamp and paint to your hearts content on this surface. Die-cutting opens up even more options!
There is something wonderful about the contrast of the soft watercolor images and this bold black and white washi tape. Manufactured by Doodlebug Design, this quality tape will last for multiple products since you get a full twelve yards!
Betsy has only selected the absolute BEST for this kit, so she selected a high quality linen paper for her bright and colorful patterned paper collection to be printed on! This is the same stock that our Monthly Moments paper pads are printed on, so you know this will be great too!
