Rose Bouquet

 

Hello, again!  I’m back to coloring today and this time it’s all done with dies.  I buy these large dies and then I hardly get around to using them because I’m always wanting to color something, so today I watercolored the die cut.  This Rose Bouquet die is new to me, from a 75% off all Die-namites sale at Dies R Us recently.  How could I not take advantage of that?  Amazing how many dies you can pick up for a very small cost at such a discount.

 

 

I put a soft watercolor blend on the background and added glitter to the rosebuds.  The sentiment is from the Power Poppy Short Stacks clear stamp set.  It’s a perfect fit in the ribbon banner!

 

 

I’ll keep this short today and put the details in the recipe below.  I’ll return on Wednesday with a new Double D challenge.  Hope to see you then!

 

Stamps:  Power Poppy Short Stacks sentiment  Paper:  140 lb hot press watercolor, tan Hero Arts pre-cut card base, Neenah 110 lb white layered under die cut to add dimension  Ink:  Palette Noir (sentiment), Tombow markers for watercoloring die cut, SU! Pool Party and So Saffron for soft watercolor background  Accessories:  Stickles Stardust glitter, pearl, Die-namites Rose Bouquet, Spellbinders A2 Devine Eleoquence, Labels Twenty Eight, Ribbon Banners, Scotch brand foam mounting tape

Wow, another gorgeous creation! The way you have watercoloured the die cut flowers is so pretty. I love the A2 Devine Eleoquence die (one of my favs) and how you used the ribbon banner along the top, it fits perfectly. So, so pretty - big sigh! Always love when you create, keep them coming. Have a wonderful day Leslie!

Gorgeous, those were some great deals that's for sure and I just love how you colored this beauty up, and such pretty framing of it all too, the glow behind them is such a pretty touch and sets it all off so nicely!

Those dies are so pretty with the little bit of water color. Very pretty, Leslie. (If this post, I will be working my way back to leave more comments. I saw a lot of pretties).

Beautiful...how did I not see this die...the little bit of 'sparkle' on the flowers adds so much (of course you know I love glitter)...what a terrific sale you hit! Hope all is going well and you are enjoying your first summer of retirement!!

Oh, my, Leslie! I LOVE this card with mostly dies, and I love the rose bouquet and how you've colored it! It's GORGEOUS! I so love this fancy frame die - definitely one of my favorites, and what a beautiful sentiment up in the ribbon banner die. Stunning card (and I do believe you've enabled me - ha!). Hugs! xoxo
