Time now to play with a new Watercolor Technique hosted by Bonnie😊

My 1st time to try Print Making with Die-cuts.  I really enjoyed the technique.  Remember to keep your card CAS and use Watercoloring.

Wishing you 5+ more years of Awesome CAS Mix Up Challenges, Lolly:-)

I began with a scrap piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and die cut my new SSS "Daisy Square Die S669" with my Big Shot.

I used a toothpick (high tech) to poke out the white background and frame.

Placed the die cut daisy on my glass mat and watercolored with Zigs and paint brush.  Next watercolored the frame with black Zig and paint brush.

Let them dry and replaced die cut daisy and frame in white background, like a puzzle.  Secured on back with scotch tape. 

Set aside main image.

I cut an A2 size piece of SU Whisper White CS with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame" Die.

Next Die cut another Daisy Square out of Mixed Media paper and watercolored with Zigs and paint brush. 

Kept pieces together and secured with scotch tape on the back.  Then sprayed liberally with water.  Flipped over onto card front and laid paper towel over Daisy square and pressed down, which left a watercolored print. Stamped the print 3 more times without reinking,  which left the cool background print.

Attached card front to SU Whisper White CS then popped up Main Daisy Image with white craft foam and attached to card front.

I turned and turned the card before deciding on the horizontal card, which I thought was the best balance for the print background.

Very pleased with the results,  Bonnie.  TFS and hosting your fun technique😊

You still have until the 24th to play along.

There are prizes celebrating CAS Mix Up's  5th Birthday from Lolly.

Love and Hugs...
