"Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows, Lies the seed, That with the sun's love, In the spring, Becomes the rose" ~From The Rose by Bette Midler
(Hurry! There's just a couple December scrapbook kits left, and all other remaining months are vastly discounted!)
The kit included a perfectly sized bottle of glossy accents which I put to use on the above card. It is unreal how this product can change the look of paper. I touched up the Authentique Dotted Patterned Paper with it and then used it on a handmade flower. Simon Says Stamp is having an Anything Goes Challenge so I thought to enter this card.
I also wanted to showcase how the stamps included can be used by themselves to create a unique project too! The following card is based off the inspiration picture at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge and features misting as well. (The January Kit includes a bottle of mist, just saying!)

So there you have it, thanks for joining me every Saturday this past month as I featured the card kit from Artful Delight! And thanks, LeeAnne, for the wonderful opportunity. You can check out all I made with this kit here, here, here, and here! The best part is that I still have a ton of product left over too!
Please stay safe tonight if you are going out and let's have a blast in 2012!
