Posted by Caly Person | Jan 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hi, Friends! This is Caly and I’m sharing watercolor card today using die-cut snowflakes using the Frosty Flakes die set.

I created a frame for my scene using the Gallery Frame Die #1 done in white cardstock. I created hills using the Spooky Scene Die and partially cut only the hills from scraps. To finish my scene, I added some birch trees using the...

Hi, Friends! Caly here again to share a card using the Bee Happy set from our latest release. Our design team members have shared amazing cards using this set and I hope the card I share today will inspire you as well!

After coloring all the images, I used the coordinating Bee Happy dies and then highlighted the images with a white gel pen (if you do it before cutting, it may rub off some depending on...
