Hi there
I came across this technique that I have never tried before (that I can remember, anyway)
Using die cuts to make a watercolour background.
I happened to have In The Pines Stamps and Pine Wood Dies on my desk, whilst making up kits for class.
I was surprised to find there were a few Blog Challenges I could enter, so I gave this technique a go.
I put some ink and water on a Stamparatus plate, swooshed it about a bit with a tree die,
and made 3 inky background trees.
I then stamped and die cut one of the trees, and stamped my deer (Dashing Deer).
I used Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral for the watercolour trunks, and Terracotta for the deer.
The picture above was taken in glorious sunshine today......albeit a bit cold outside.
I hope you'll give this a go?
Meantime I'm entering the following.......
(Apologies to the above if I've missed or broken any rules )
Have a good weekend
Lesley
