Hi there! Suzanna here today to share a mini tutorial on using an amazing Die-Namites die and the Craftwell Cut'N Boss!
Gather your supplies; watercolor paper, Gelatos, Die-Namites die, Cut'N Boss, watercolor brushes, water, extra paper for a palette.
Cut a piece of water color paper 4 x 5.25 for your card background using a trimmer.
Using the following sandwich, cut your Die-Namites die flower and save the "background" as well as the positive cut image;
On the extra water color paper that you will use as your palate, layer the color Gelatos that you want to use to water color.
Overlay the "background" from your cut on top of the background piece for the card and apply Gelato within the outline shape of the flowers. Keep in mind the look of the finished die. Dip your brush in the water then on your Gelato palate to pick up color and apply to the card background.
Pick up lots of green Gelato and flick green onto the completed background.
Using a pen liquid glue, glue the positive cut image from Die-Namites on top of the watercolored image.
Embellish as you see fit.
Die-Namites dies are fantastic American made dies that cut incredibly well in the Cut'N Boss! There are nice clean cuts and the small detail pieces that you don't need are quickly and easily removed!
Remember, one comment per day, per post!
Thanks for stopping in today!
