Here is one of the kits available in the May Club Q package. It features some very pretty paper along with the pre-cut Die Cut title and the embellishments. The kit includes a full color photo of the finished project and step-by-step instructions. You can choose to do your kit as shown: or you can change it up.

Here is my first version of this kit. I used all of the same elements that come in the kit. I didn’t add anything to the kit provided. I did also ink the mats and patterned paper with the Mango Mai Tai Powder Puff Chalk Ink and the Tahiti  Powder Puff Chalk Ink.

Here is my second version of this kit. I added two pieces of River Reed Bazzill Cardstock. I also used some border and corner punches by EK Success.

Here is a close up of the letters and flower. I inked them with the
Mai Tai and Amaretto Powder Puff Chalk Inks.

Here is another close up of the title. I love how easily the ink covers the paper but still allows the texture of the paper to show through.
