Watercolor Layered Design for CAS Mix Up

Hello friends.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I've had such fun with this die cut!
I did the reverse on this post.

This time I die cut from mixed media paper and watercolored
using Distress Markers, a palette and a water brush

Once the coloring was done and dry, it was easy to pop it on
to a dry embossed piece and finish it up.

CAS Mix Up 
Using watercolor die cuts, stamping and dry embossing

(I didn't go with the BABY option)


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    It's a gorgeous die, and I like both versions you've done with it. I must say, I'm a bit prejudiced, as THIS one is my favorite! As always, your w/coloring is awesome, & this little vignette looks lovely against the woodgrain background. TFS & Hugs

    Such a unique and pleasing die. As always, your water coloring looks so good. And the dry embossed mat is perfect with it.

    Awwwww...sweet, sweet card my friend! You really do make the most wonderful bird cards!! These two little guys are so colorful and pretty and just love how they're sitting among the blossoms! LOVE the woodgrain cardstock behind your die cut too! Really need to get my dies out and find one for this challenge...been in kind of a funk since the shut down of Merry Monday...maybe I need to find a Christmas die cut to color?! But anyway, lovely card my friend. Have a great weekend!! :0)

    I'm always impressed you use the negatives/positives of die-cuts so well, Bonnie! They always look like they are die-cut just for that card.
    The die-cut design is sweet but your watercoloring makes it look much sweeter! I especially love how you watercolored the intricate branches with all the shades. (I would have to hold my breath while watercoloring these!!) Hideko xx
