Here’s another technique to add “pop” to your projects with Creative Dies… dimensional watercolor.

This technique also works beautifully with intricate dies such as 51-131 Harmonious.

Because the inside portion of the flower is “open” you can paint both the die cut outline of the flower as well as the inner portion, giving you lots of fun shading and design options.

    Lovely cards, both of them. When you glue the layers together and then add the watercolor, do you ever have trouble with the layers separating? Just wondering…it happens to me sometimes!

      Thanks so much, Barbara! I haven’t had any trouble with the layers separating when I use my zig glue pen.
