Watercolored Die Cuts

This is for Split Coast Stampers TLC554 Watercolor Those Die Cuts

First, I watercolored a sheet of Canson 140# XL watercolor paper with Stampin' Up, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Wild Wasabi and Elegant Eggplant inks and water.

Then I stamped three of the leaves from Vintage Leaves stamp set all over the watercolored paper in Tip Top Taupe.

Leaves were die cut with coordinated Leaves Dies, then stamped with Gorgeous Grunge in Elegant Eggplant, dried then stamped again with Versamark and embossed with Recollections Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder.

The edges of the leaves were then dipped into the Versamark and again embossed.

Base of card is 110" white card stock, with a pieces of Elegant Eggplant, Gold Foil and another piece of white card stock dry embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder.

Eggplant leaves were die cut to match the painted leaves and glued the the back of the watercolored leaves at the stems.  The leaves were then applied to the woodgrain card stock with dimentionals.  A piece of gold twine was tied to the leaf stems.

Sentiment was stamped onto white card stock, gold embossed design and then stamped the sentiment in elegant eggplant and punched it out with the Artisan Label punch.  Sentiment was backed with two Elegant Eggplant labels punched out and cut in half to frame the sentiment.
