For day 5,  I thought I'd share a little something special! I created a box set of 4 1/4 square cards. I used the amazing Lace Doily Die from Altenew. I used the watercolor paper pad 9 by 12, its a beautiful soft cold press paper that is perfect for all of your projects.  I used the Watercolor Brush Markers Spring Garden for coloring each of the four designs (click on the images to see all of the detail). 



A card set is always a lovely gift for friends and family!  I made the box too! I chose different parts of the Lacy Doily die to create different patterns with them. 


I used the Rubellite Watercolor Brush Marker directly onto the watercolor paper, which allowed me to have control on how it moved around. These are blank note cards. I used 80 lb. cardstock for the note card layers and bases. 

I used the Dusk Watercolor Brush Marker, love the light and dark weave together!

I used the Emerald Watercolor Brush Marker with most of it dark, with just a bit of light in it! 

I used the Midnight Violet Watercolor Brush Marker gave me some gorgeous color hues. 


Up next is Nenette S. Madero or you can go back and start from the beginning at Altenew's card blog.
