Betsy has put a kit together that is timeless and beautiful and artistic all at the same time. If you follow the modern stationery look, you'll adore the script fonts in this set and the brush strokes. SO much fun to play around with, whether you want to use them as is or get more artistic with the paints and different paper mediums in the kit that will go so well with the other ingredients she has mixed in! It's a recipe for creativity, most definitely!! You will fall in love with it, as I have!"
