CottageCutz Challenge #4 - GREENERY

Hi, Vladka is here!

Thank you very much for all your great cards and projects you've made for Challenge #3. Two lucky winners will be announced at the end of this post. So, stay tuned.

And here is time to start new challenge. 

This time theme is GREENERY. 

So, create a card or on any other project and decorate it with some greenery, like leaves, trees, grass...
And please, use ONLY CottageCutz dies and not any other dies. "Add your link" button is available under the list of used dies. If you are not familiar with this button, please check this post for more explanation. Challenge will be closed on 31st of July!

Ok, let's go to my project. I hope this will inspire you a little bit. 

Here is list of all supplies I used:

Cardstock: White Cardbase and Watercolor Paper 

CottageCutz Dies: listed below

Other: Watercolor Set, Paint Brush, water, Sizzix machine

1. First I cut out the Tree, Bench and Cat, Clouds and Sun out of watercolor paper.

2. I did the coloring the same way as with Watercolor Bicycle in this post or in this video. So, all you need to do is, to take watercolors and mixed them with a little water and apply them on the die cuts. You can add more layers of one watercolor if you want, but you need to dry one layer before you apply another one. And you can use heat gun for this. As you can see here, I applied one layer of green on the treetop and here I'm applying new layer of the same green color.

3. To get even more watercolor look, leave some spots white, don't color them. Here are watercolors which I used and all die cuts which I colored:

4. Next step is, to colors also the background. For the sky, apply just some water on the watercolor paper first and then add blue watercolor. Water will spread color around and create sky. Dry it.

5. Do the same with green watercolor at the bottom of the watercolor paper and so, you will create green hill.

6. Now it's time to glue everything together. I used 3D adhesive foam squares for Tree, Bench and some Grass and liquid glue for all other pieces. For finished touch I put the Cat on the Banch and stamp the sentiment.
