I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and colored with Zigs. I also stamped the image onto several different scraps of patterned paper and fussy cut the rose, leaves, birds and wings. All pieces were colored with a black marker to hide imperfections in the fussy cutting. These were then paper pieced onto the watercolored piece. Since this image was longer than would fit onto a standard A2 card front, I needed to make my card longer and narrower also, resulting in a card 3 3/4 by 7 3/4 inches. Using both a rectangle and scalloped border die I partially cut the watercolored piece from each end resulting in a piece that was long and narrow. This was then layered onto a patterned paper rectangle and then the card front. I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the rose and small hearts for shimmer and some red Stickles to the dots of the large heart. Finished!
My tip today - Using the partial die cutting technique you can create pieces to fit custom size cards.
