Today's Projects

Let's take a look at how I used the new dies from today's release.

I decided to use the Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set to add an easy wash of color to the flowers.

I added some Pale Gray Cardstock to my card front as well as a popped up panel of Dark Gray Cardstock. My bouquet was attached to this.

And finally I added a sentiment from the Airbrushed Flowers Stamp Set. This was die cut with the Featured Sentiments Die Set.

That was fun, inspirational, and just plain gorgeous! The Cistus flower is beautiful and looks a bit of a flower I think the squirrels planted about 2 years ago and has become my favorite spring bloom. I cant wait till they bloom again to check it out! I love that the gradient cardstock packs have a darker choice too, and such great quality too. Thanks for the hop!
