Stretch Your Dies Day Two

I’m still working through the lessons from the Online Card Classes Stretch Your Dies class. Today, I’m sharing a card inspired by the techniques shown by Kristina Werner in the Day Two lesson.

I colored a piece of watercolor paper with Distress Inks and then die cut the star shapes. Kristina went on to take her shapes and arrange them in a cluster that she cut with a circle die. It’s a cool technique, but I decided I didn’t think it would add anything to my design. I finished the card with an apt sentiment.

I like coloring watercolor paper with Distress Inks and then cutting the paper with dies, so that each die cut has a different color pattern. Ideally I would have a stack of watercolored panels on hand to die cut!
