Edited 2020: This post has been edited to remove a bunch of outdated information about a monthly kit that isn’t available.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!

Fantastic colours and skill. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful job!
Gorgeous card! I love the beautiful coloring & the wonderful design. thanks so much for the great video with all the awesome tips.
Lovely coloring, as usual Sally! I know it is said that practice makes perfect, but I fear that I will never be able to practice long enough to come close to your coloring ability! That’ no Blarney, either!
I hope when you do the same image with Copic that you will show it here on your blog.
I ordered Tha kit! This will be my first purchase from Hero Arts.
I am really looking forward to receiving it.
Thank you for another informative post.

Sandi, this is Gorgeous, I love your videos! I’ve followed one of your Brusho videos & will post it on my blog soon.
Good thing the bank lady called you so that you could make the “mistakes” on your beautiful card.

I watch your Sunday watercolor tips videos and have learned lots of new tricks. It also reminded me why I love DS tube paints. Thanks!
