Card Details

Does thinking about how to add multiple colors to one die stress you out? I want to turn your crafting stress into success.

I’m not sure there’s any really simple way to do this. Probably the simplest way would be to cut the die in white cardstock or watercolor paper. Then, add colors with blending brushes, markers, or watercolors.

Multiple colors were added to this card by diecutting the design three different times in three different colors. All were cut out in cardstock with Adhesive Sheets on them. First, Leave the yellow die whole and adhere it directly to the card front layer. Next, Cut the other cardstock colors and adhere the parts directly to the yellow die. The final product is a die with yellow and red flowers and bermuda bay leaves.

You could use whichever colors fit your design needs. I’d love to see what you create. Feel free to share them in the comments.
