Edited 2020: This post has been edited to remove a bunch of outdated information about a monthly kit that isn’t available. The technique is awesome though, and the supply list links to a bunch of dot card options to try!
Two of my artsy craftsy favorites have linked arms for a beautiful kit! There’s a special palette of Daniel Smith paints (in the form of a dot chart) along with Hero Arts stamps, dies, paper, a brush…everything you need in one lovely kit! How perfect!
The kit is pretty fantastic especially for a new watercolorist. It’s an easy way to get a stamp and die set that you can use independently along with card bases and paper – and a brush and paints to try out!
There are a bunch of small 18-color dot cards, and Ellen Hutson carries mine plus this Hero Arts chart:
There are also larger dot cards – 66 and 238 colors!

Gorgeous… But I wouldn’t expect anything less from you!
What an utterly gorgeous card! I’d flip out if this beauty landed in my mailbox!!
How beautiful!

Those flowers are beautiful.
Wow, gorgeous! I’m glad you continued, I love what you created.
Lovely watercoloring!
She makes it look so fun!
In case anyone wants to know – I compared the kit’s 18 colors to the 66 Try It Color Sheet. Unless i made a mistake, 11 are the same and 7 colors are different. On the kit’s pallet, the bottom row of 3 are not on the 66 pallet; the 6th row of 3 are different; and Perm. Alizarin Crimson in 2nd row is different. I figured I’d share this.
I just wanted to share: I got the kit, stamped the large flower in a pale putty color, painted it in yellows, and I even made my own brown color with the quin gold and moonglow!!! It turned out gorgeous and will be the star for my mom’s Mothers’ Day card! I so wish the art teachers I had as a kid had shown us how much fun it is to play. I got so focused on the finished project, which never turned out too well, that I didn’t know about the play (and experimentation) aspect. But…I am having fun now! And discovering that everything I do isn’t awful! Thanks for your gentle and kind encouragement, always suggesting ways to do things and emphasizing the experimentation aspect of the whole process. Your work is amazing, but your kindness and generosity and sweetness of spirit is what draws people (me). And you are funny and fantastic! (The first video of yours I saw was the scrap wrangler set!) Thanks for all you do and are.
I love that you left a video for us to watch! 🙂
