Make it Monday #251 Gradient watercolor Die Cuts

Wow you just need to check out what Dawn, at Capture the Moment has done this week.  It is so bright and fun and easy to do.  I'm going to get right to it.  Here is my card.

 I used a die from Die-namics to make this cut, called Four Way Chevron.  I did not have one from PTI.  After water coloring some paper with Zig Clean Color pens using all greens, I left it in the die and applied adhesive to the back and then pasted it to the card base of GKD Sage Green, and peeled off the negative.  

I then cut a border with a Spellbinder die and the beautiful butterfly was made with What the Doodle Butterfly from PTI.  

Here is another view showing the Wink of Stella that I applied to the entire butterfly.  The sentiment is embossed with Platinum EP and is from the same PTI stamp set.






I will enter this card in these challenges:

Mod Squad Challenge Peek a Boo Card

Donna Phelan and I are your hosts this week at the Mod Squad.  We did a challenge awhile back that we had fun with and we are bringing it to you to see what you do with it.  The challenge is to have something peeking at you through the front of the card.  Take a look at my card and you will see what I mean. 

 I used a die from Memory Box, Vivienne, to cut the butterfly in the card.  The long tails are hand cut to let more show through.  This is Gina K heavy base weight card stock and I embossed it with the Swiss Dot folder.  On the side, I cut a new border die  by Penny Black.  It is cut from white paper, but you can see in the picture that it is not the same color white as Gina's.  It does not show up that much IRL. A banner of vellum across the front with my favorite Happy Birthday stamp from Gina K Designs, Birthday Greetings. Love the font and it is heat embossed with gold.  

Now, to open the card and see the surprise.  

Inside is the stamp Stately Flowers 2 from Melanie Muenchinger, along with the sentiment form Birthday Greetings. Flowers are colors with copic markers.
Here is a closer look at the inside

After coloring, I added some details with a white gel pen to make it really pop.  I love this card and how it turned out.
