Tips & Tools:

1.  Ink bell in Black Stazon (#101406) and stamp on Watercolor paper.  Use Stampin' Write Markers to outline the area your coloring.  Use an Aqua Painter (#103954) to pull color into the desired area that your coloring in.  Let dry and use the extra-large circle punch to cut out the image.  When you're done watercoloring, spray Gold Glow Smooch Spritz (#118770) over the entire paper circle until you are satisfied with the results.

2.  Use an Embossing Buddy (#103083) to wipe the area where the sentiment is going to be stamped.  Stamp sentiment in VersaMark (#102283).  Cover with Gold Embossing Powder (#109129) and shake off the extra powder in a Powder Pals tray (#102197). Use Embossing Gun (#100005) to heat and dry sentiment.
