Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Papertrey Ink’s Make it Monday #171: Pop Up Die Cuts, AAA Cards Game #10 Watercolor techniques and Virginia’s View Challenge #5
I’m so excited about this weeks challenges because they combine my two favorite things. Water-coloring and my all time favorite die, Life is Beautiful Butterfly die.
Yayyyyy, I get to use Watercolors for this challenge!!
Besty Veldman showed everyone how to use our dies to create partial cuts!!
Die Cut, perfect!
Take a look at my card:
I created a card like this in the past, when I was taking my Online Card Class on Water-coloring. It was fun so I decided to do it again with different colors, die, and sentiment. You can see my original card here.
To create the watercolor dots, I used a new pencil eraser to transfer the ink from the pad to the paper.
Then I die cut the butterfly over the dots. I only placed the cutting plates over the wing section of the butterfly. That way the body of the butterfly will stay in tack.
I stamped the sentiment and added some heart enamel dots.
Can you say pretty!!! I can!!! Creating this card was very easy and everyone should try water-coloring and partial die cutting.
So what do you think? Please leave a comment letting me know if you like my card creation today.

Hey Kreative Kristie!!!! I love your name. We have great taste in the name department. Thank you for your kind comment. I love your butterflies!! That die set is my favorite. The teal against the black is such a wonderful contrast. I love both cards. The chevron die cut is amazing too.

Hey Diana! Thank you for your kind words. Don’t you just love that sentiment! I love it and I’m thinking on how I can use it again.
This is beautiful, Kymona. I was just looking at my watercolor book from that class yesterday and came upon this technique which I didn’t get a chance to try.

Well, let me tell you a secret. Each week I place in the sidebar a sneak peek preview of the next game. So if you look for it you can have extra time to make a smashing card!
Victoria, you are the best!!! Thank you so much. I need to be ahead of the game, lol!

Hey Jacquie! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I had a lot of fun creating that card.
Beautiful butterfly, I love the summery colors, great job
Hey Erica, thank you so much for your continued support.
Wow – you have been so busy since I was here last!! I wanted to tell you how perfect this card is – the colors are so beautiful and make that butterfly flit right off the page!!! Love the sentiment but I am SOOOOO in love with those heart shaped enamel dots!! Way to go – you created such a thing of beauty!!
Hey Taunya!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. Yes your right the butterfly does look like its flying off of the page. That sentiment is my favorite sentiment now. You don’t realize what you have in your stash until you really look at them. The heart enamels are from http://www.chickaniddy.com
This card climbs the chart on my list of favorites!
Wonderful!
