Hello! I've decided to try and make more than one card at a time since it is easy to do once you have stamps and supplies out. I have used Gina K Design stamps and a die from Whimsical Wildflowers for these cards using partial die cutting and water coloring on both designs. I stamped the floral image twice on watercolor paper and heat embossed one with gold EP and one with white EP. I water colored each with DOI Picked Raspberry and DI Forest Moss using a water brush. I used the GKD Die to partially cut the image. The top card was finished by placing the cut portion on top of a Pattern Paper that I created with GKD Background Stamp Petite Flourish using GKD Fresh Asparagus ink on white CS. Finished this one with a card base of GKD Fresh Asparagus CS and a Gold Embossed GKD sentiment. .
I kept the second card clean and simple by simply adding the partially cut image to a card base of Yellow CS and stamping the GKD sentiment with Distress Ink Forest Moss. I found it hard to water color this image since it was embossed with white EP but I just tried to follow the lines by looking at the first card that I colored first

ReplyDeleteBeautiful examples of partial die cutting, Theresa! I love the pretty pink flowers! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so pretty, Theresa! You did a fantastic job of watercoloring the flowers and leaves, and partial die-cutting. The flowers and leaves really pop against the yellow background. Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Mix Up!
