Video: Watercolor Two Ways with the Presents Tower Die

Hi everyone! This is Rachel Kleinman from rwkrafts and I'm excited to share today's video with you all! I'm showcasing the new Presents Tower Fancy Die and how to turn it into a holiday card and also a fun birthday card.


(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please watch HERE on YouTube .)

For the holiday card, I went with a traditional Christmas vibe...
And those naughty kitties are so cute! With both cards, I use the November Clear Set and Dies of the month, which is these darling cat images.
The traditional card that I work on in the video uses Reactive Inks in Key Lime Fizz , Green Apple , and Fruit Punch as well as a bit of Strawberry Liquid Watercolor . You can see a quick run-through of the process in the video!
The background of this panel uses the gorgeous Shamrock Cardstock which was paired with the lovely Holiday Foliage Stencil and some (wait for it...) GLITTER PASTE !
My bonus card that I share in the end of the video is this adorable birthday card. I use the exact same techniques but just switched up the colors and background stencil.
The birthday card uses Reactive Inks Pool Party , Key Lime Fizz , and Berry Smoothie . The background is created with the Dancing Lines Stencil on Adriatic Cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you're ready to watercolor your holiday fancy dies!
