I have a card to share today, with a die cut background and beautiful die cut branches. The branches were die cut with the Simon Says Stamp Fine Textured Leaf die and a mix of watercolor paper and vellum.

Start by die cutting the two sizes of Fine Textured Leaf from vellum and watercolor paper.

Smear blue shades of Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the leaves into the ink, making them lighter at the top. When dry, add more color in the same way until you are happy with the look.

Place Simon Says Stamp gold glitter paper under the die cut so that the gold shines through the die cut flowers.
