Diecember Release Blog Hop-Day 1

Hello, crafty friends. I’m honored to be part of the Diecember Blog Hop in celebration of THIS new release and all things die-cutting.

For the first card, I die-cut THIS new die from THIS card stock as well as THIS and THIS card stock for the paintbrush. For the paint palettes, I dipped the die-cut circles in a variety of Distress Oxide colors mixed with a bit of water. Since there was some ink left over, I smooshed each color and layered them to create a background…

I sprayed it heavily with THIS for some shine and added some of THIS on top of the paint for dimension. I finished it off by adding THIS sentiment.

For the next card, I created a background by added a circle of color with a couple of Distress Inks and water…

I did the same process for the paint palette and added the same sentiment above. I adhered three of the sentiment pieces together for stability and dimension.

Here’s a closer look…
