I love the flower and leaf dies that are in the wild rose die set so I decided to make them the star for this card. I wanted the color to pop through the dies and so I watercolored with my ink refills and aquapainter the background. I started by placing the dies where I wanted them to go and then added the color.
The first layer of color was so pretty and I was really excited to see what the card would look like when done. I placed my dies on top and decided that I wanted to add another layer of color and make some areas a little bigger. I also added some of the seaside spray to the background to add even more dimension.
Look how pretty is this. I thought of just keeping this without the dies but decided to make the card the way that I had planned.
The sentiment is from the inspiring iris stamp set. I really love this sentiment and I am sure you have noticed because I use it all the time!
I wonder if I had made the die pieces with colored card stock how that would look. Something to try in the future. I love to try new things. How about you? Sometimes you can come up with something that works and sometimes it just doesn't work. I keep trying to tell myself that it is all just paper and ink. Try something new today and let me know what it is and if you like it. Enjoy!
