The Christmas Words Tree die from Lil’ Inkers is getting put to good use this week – here’s another take on how to use this die for a simple card idea.
I’m not totally happy with the end result as I think I should have used watercolour paper for the background to the die, but I thought a nice alternative way to showcase the die-cuts would be to layer them on a watercolour background:
Paper: Crate Paper
Dies: Lil’ Inker Designs – Christmas Words Tree, Lawn Fawn – Large Cross-Stitched Square Stackables
Other: Nuvo Glitter drops, watercolour paints
Once again I layered up a few die-cuts cut from white cardstock to create added dimension against the background but not real bulk to make the card still flat-ish for posting. I used a couple of shades of paint from my Gansai Tambi watercolour set for the tree and star to depict a Christmas tree and for added sparkle the Silver Moondust Nuvo Glitter Drops were deployed.
It’s certainly a different take, not my favourite of the cards I’ve made recently but I will make a few changes next time so that the watercolour background looks better. 🙂
