Watercolor Die Cut Details_2

Hi Friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you again for a brand new Studio Monday feature!

Today I am going to be sharing a super fun (and oh-so-tropical!) scene card featuring Taylored Expression dies. I’ll walk you through the creation of the scene, as well as sharing tips and tricks on how to add fun details to your cards using watercolors; or in this case, the Zig Clean Color brush markers!

For my card I’ve paired the Taylored Expressions On the Line Beach die set, as well as the Happy Summer Banner dies together; these dies work so well together and I love how they create such a fun and happy scene! Because I wanted to add extra details to these dies, I used the Zig markers to color everything in. However, keep in mind that you can create a stunning scene with these dies using a variety of techniques! Here are a few more ideas:

  • die cutting from white cardstock and blending ink over the die cuts
  • cut from colored cardstock and add shading ink blending
  • cut from white cardstock and color with Copics, colored pencils, etc.
