Here is my kept KIT project. (I just realized I don't know why I am capitalizing KIT….)

So here is what I typed and you can pick up from #3 if you are reading this having come from the gallery first….
"Here is my first project I made with my kept KIT. I am celebrating summer. From my kit I used the stamped image, the wave border, flower cut-out, star/snowflake punch out, and 2 four-leaf flower cut-outs.
1. Colored stamped image (was stamped with Mementos dye ink) with Prismacolor markers. I colored the background with Farber-Castell chalks.
2. I colored the wave border by pouncing (is that the correct term?) on distress inks with my sponge applicator. I used three different colors of distress inks. I then used my blue powder puff chalk ink pad and rubbed it across the cut-out until I liked the coverage of the ink. Adhered the wave border to the stamped image CS and left to dry.
3. Used the Cuttlebug and a nestability die to cut out the image and wave border as one while using a post-it note to hold die where I wanted. Also cut out another cut-out using same nestability on kraft paper. Backed the stamped image with the kraft paper offset up a tad and adhered.
4. I used another wave border from the kit (if I had planned this from the beginning I could had used only one border). I applied the same inks and in the same way as I did with the first wave border EXCEPT I had the border taped to the table and card at about an inch below the top of the card base (with the waves on the border cut-out pointing towards the top of the card base)---in this way I used it as a stencil.
5. Took the flower cut-outs and colored them with distress inks. I pounced all the colors on and most used any where from 3 to 5 or 6 different colors.
6. I formed the base flower by turning the colored side over on top of an old sock and using a wooden embossing stick to rub the "petals" into shape.
7. Glued the flowers together and let dry.
8. Curled the star/snowflake layer on tips.
9. Applied enamel accent to some of the circle cut-outs on the star/snowflake layer and left to dry. I was afraid the enamel accent would leach into the CS, but it didn't---instead the color from the distress ink leached into the white enamel accent---despite I HAD heat set each layer before assembling. Thus I applied the enamel accent again and let dry. It is more white now, but not entirely still.
10. Glued flower to card. I left the space to the left of the flower open for sentiment. and originally I was going to use one of the tag cut-outs in the kit to cover up the flower petal that was accidentally cut upon, but I couldn't decide on a sentiment so I left blank to use later.
TFL!"
I need to go take a photo of the side of the card to show the curled snowflake/star layer.
