i saw your card on the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge. I love your watercoloring. It is perfect. Did you color then fussy cut and then adhered to the canvas or is the canvas piece an embossing folder. I love it whichever it is.😊
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley, thanks for stopping by and asking. It's a faux canvas piece. You've guessed it right. I achieved the effect via die cutting, namely Altewnew Cross Stitch Canvas Die. Cheers.
DeleteWhat a beautiful explosion of bright colors on the leaf Helen! Love how you used those vibrant markers colors and still kept this very CAS! Thanks for sharing with us at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week!
