I am so excited to be participating in Kylie's international blog highlight contest. If you came here via her page, make sure to vote for my project, and if you came here because you are one of my loyal followers, please make sure to vote for my project on her site here!
(If I am in the top 10 then I am featured in a special international blog hop later! Fun stuff!)
For this month's projects Kylie wanted to feature all the new beautiful spring products in the Occasions catalog and the free items you can earn in the Sale-a-bration Catalog! I have managed to feature four new products-- two from each catalog!

As many of you know, I have been playing with the new watercolor crystals, Brusho, for weeks now, and I just can't get enough! You can see my latest Facebook Live video here or my previous blog post here!
For this card, I used the Decorative Masks meant for embossing paste, laid them down on our watercolor paper, sprinkled the Brilliant Red, Gamboge, and Yellow Brushos, then spritzed with water. I left the mask on the sheet of watercolor paper to dry overnight and the next morning when I lifted it, the image was still there!
Then I die cut "Celebrate" in black and silver foil paper (free Sale-a-bration item with a $100 order, Celebrate You thinlit dies) and layered those on the top, along with the Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-backed Sequins. All of this was attached to another free Sale-a-bration item, the Tutti-Frutti cards and envelopes, 16 of them, which are free with a $50 order!
Here is another closer angle of the card...

And I will be doing a Brusho class to go (similar to my Watercolor Pencils class last spring) where I post videos for you to follow along with. At this point I have discovered 14 different techniques and ways to use Brusho so if you are interested in the class- let me know below in the comments!
Happy crafting,
