Vibrant Watercolor/Die Cut Flowers

Start with wet watercolor paper and add bands of color using Twinkling H2Os. These paints shimmer when dry and really sparkle and shine in the sunlight.  Let dry thoroughly.  (I used my heat tool to speed up the drying time.)  Then get out flower dies and a die cutting machine and get to work!  I used double sided tape, mini glue dots, and a Zig glue pen to attach the die cuts.

I now have six cards ready for finishing touches.  When I'm ready to send them out, I'll add an appropriate sentiment to the front of the card, another stamped image and a note on the inside, and a decorative stamp on the envelope, too.

I hope you'll get out your watercolors and make some backgrounds for die cutting your own bouquet of spring flowers!

Happy crafting!
