Hello! I decided to play with this month's CAS Mix Up Card Challenge which is to do print making with a die-cut and to use watercoloring as the main element in our design. New technique for me. Since I have not done this before I watched the tutorial video by Kathy Racoosin shared on the challenge.
I cut a flower from watercolor paper with Memory Box Die Darling Poppies and used the die cut and colored with Distress Oxide Inks to create a background on panels of watercolor paper. I did this on 3 cards but finished each one a bit differently.
For the top card, I embossed the background panel with the print from the die-cut using an oval die and then attached the die cut flower on the top but did not insert the pieces of the petals. I only attached the outline portion of the flower and stems so the background print that I did showed through. Finished with a Green card base. In the photos, I showed the die cut flower that I water colored and used for print making.
For the card above, I made another print on the background and attached another flower that I kept with all the die cut pieces and watercolored. Used rectangle dies for frame and attached to a base of white card stock.
For my last design using the same technique for my background, I die cut the poppies from white cardstock and only watercolored the stems and the inlaid pieces of the petals. Finished this one with a birthday sentiment from Gina K designs.
Supplies: Distress Oxide Inks Picked Raspberry, Peeled Paint, Aged Mahogany, Spice Marmalade. Watercolor Paper, White and Green CS, Oval Die, Memory Box Die.
