   Hi... Happy World Card Making Day!  This card features cutie products from Lawn Fawn (hoppy halloween stamp set) and watercoloring using Tim Holtz distress inks which include chipped sapphire, seedless preserves, and spun sugar.  To begin, I applied Wendy Vecchi's white embossing paste over a star stencil onto a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper and set aside to dry.  While the embossing paste was setting, I stamped and Copic colored images, then fussy cut them out.
