Weekly Challenge | Get Creative with Dies
Tags:
Happy Spring everyone! I'm thrilled to be here issuing this week's challenge. I'm always looking for new techniques and fun new ways to use my kit products and I'm sure you are too. For this card I wanted to highlight the cool, modern leaf die from the Lisse Street card kit. Using my watercolors, I started off by doing a light rainbow wash on some watercolor paper. Then I randomly diecut some leaves on a piece of white cardstock (3 3/4" x 5 1/4") and also on some gold foil cardstock. Once the watercolored background was dry I layered the white diecut piece over the top and replaced only some of the negative spaces with the gold leaf diecuts to make it pop and so that some of the watercolored background would peek through. I added my sentiment, some sequins and mounted it onto a gold background (finished dimensions
4" x 5 1/2").

I love this challenge. Dies are the greatest thing to happen to crafting since the invention of clear stamps - so cheap, so good.

Thanks for this challenge, I love the look, I used my Dear Lizzy bow die cut yesterday for a confetti bow, but I'm going to try something else after seeing your challenge. :)

I almost always use the negative of the die cut, if not as an inlay, I save it for a stencil.
Today I went a little crazy with my Vintaj.
