The background is created on watercolor paper from Stampin' UP! and then the die cut Detailed Floral Thinlit piece is glued on top.  You will learn all the steps to create this card and some bonus tips in my video today!

 To decorate these pretty watercolor wash backgrounds, I added die cut pieces from:

  • Detailed Floral Thinlits, pg 194, #141482
  • Sunshine Wishes, pg 194, #141489

To dress up the love die cut, I used Clear Wink of Stella over it, and it glimmers so nicely!!

All die cuts were added using Multipurpose glue – see the video above for tips!

  1. What gorgeous cards, Patty! Must admit that the Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay card is my fave, but all of them are stunning. That Detailed Floral Thinlit die is a real beauty. Adding it to my wish list.
