PURE Origami paper (4346) - Karen used this for little collage elements on some of her cards 🙂
Niji Artist Watercolors Studio Set, 24 colors (NWS24)
Fusion Brush 3 (FS3)
Nori Paste (NP55) - Karen mentioned this adhesive but is using a glue stick today (she showed us the Gloo Stick and Uhu stick). Nori Paste is recommended for hard substrates and absorbent washi papers because it is low-tack and slow drying 😉
