Greetings friends. I don't know about you, but sometimes I take my dies and use them exactly as they are when they are cut. However, you can get a lot of different looks if you cut out your die and then rearrange the parts.
For today's card, I used the Delicate Orchid die, which is an orchid stem positioned inside a circle. It looks great in that configuration, but I decided to cut out several floral circles, cut them out and make a new design with the pieces.
To make the background, I started with 140lb watercolor paper and painted it with a rectangle of water. Next, I added some Peerless watercolor paints to my wet rectangle and let the colors bleed together. The nice part about painting a wet rectangle base first is that it helps the colors blend and lets the paint move up to the edges of the wet area before stopping at the boundary:
Allow the paint to dry. It will get lighter in color as it dries.
Next, add your die cut pieces and add a few rhinestones for flare:
I encourage you all to cut out some of your dies and play around the pieces to create lots of different looks. Have a great weekend!

Love this. Beautifully simple and a lovely way to stretch this die. Hugz
