Stretching Your Dies

I made this card for day 2 of the Online Card Class Stretch Your Dies.

 This is the very first online card class I have ever taken. If you are on the fence, well, let me just say it's awesome!! Great, easy to follow video instruction from a variety of people and lots of extra ideas.
Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner do a fabulous job on these classes! A forum for any questions and all of this is so very inspirational. I want to create the day away. Don't I wish!!!

On with my card! Day 2 was focusing on flower dies(although I used stars).  Here is the card I made after watching Kristina's video.

I first watercolored my paper with Distress ink in Abandoned Coral, Dusty Concord and Peacock Feathers. Cut out my PTI Small Sketched Stars and arranged them how I wanted them on white CS to die cut a sqaure around them. I felt the square needed some more definition and as I inked up the square I also got ink on my card so I had to cut it out of the white. That is why it's mounted on PTI Winter Wisteria CS. The sentiment is from PTI Star Prints.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Make It Monday #204: Watercolor Smooshing

Today I am sharing with you a card I made using a technique from this week's Make It Monday
that Betsy shared with us.  I love this kind of technique because you never really know what the results will look like exactly.   I decided to go bright, being so sick of this dreary winter and with the sun shining so brightly today it put me in the mood.

                                           Here is what I had after the "smooshing".
