Hello and Happy Thursday crafty friends! I am very excited to be a guest designer for the Altenew Bursting With Creativity Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. This beautiful release has amazing products and today I get the pleasure of playing with the Floral Doodles Die Set along with the Swirl Motif Die Set. I am doing what I call Die cut dipping! I add color, I am using the ALTENEW Watercolor 36 Pan Set to my work surface and dilute it with water. Next I die cut lots of the Floral Doodles and the Swirl Motif set with watercolor cardstock. Now all I have to do is start dipping! So pretty and easy!! Lastly I glue the top outline layers and…voila you have beautiful elements for your projects! I love how they turned out and hope you do too!
