Welcome to our September Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop and our theme of Bundles! So much excitement with the new 2019 Holiday catalogue products being available this week. There are 25 new bundles in this new catalogue! And the best thing about bundles is the 10% savings when you purchase the items together using one item number! I decided to create a pocket page layout using the Perfectly Plaid bundle - a photopolymer stamp set and punch.

Under the sea with an octopus! When creating the watercoloured background for this card all I could think of was the Little Mermaid and Sebastien singing Under the Sea! Is it in your head yet like it is mine?

The background panel was created easily by using watercolour paper, the water stamp from Under the Sea stamp set and an Aqua painter. Stamp the water stamp using Bermuda Bay, inked once but stamped twice on the top of the watercolour paper and repeat at the bottom. Right away use your Aqua Painter to smear the ink around. If you need more water, gently squeeze the Aqua Painter.

Supplies
Stamps: Sea of Textures
Colours: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Smokey Slate
Accessories: Watercolor Paper, Under the Sea dies, Aqua Painter, Tailored Tag Punch

I had fun sharing what was included in the Lots of Happy Card Kit and creating this beautiful card.

Below is a picture of what is included in this kit:
You may wish to have Blender Pens or an Aqua Painter to change the look of the watercolour pencils but they are not required to complete the Lots of Happy Card kit.

You can watch me show what is included in this kit and create one of the cards:
