Watercolor Garden Layering Die Set

Enjoy working with this die set!

First of all, I absolutely love the grouping of all the dies into single color dies. The leaves are particularly fabulous, because you have already "put the puzzle pieces together to get as many die cuts as possible from one small piece of paper. I love using these die cut leaves mixed in with all my die cut flowers. Secondly, because of the loose nature of these dies, the layering is open to interpretation. No struggling to get the pieces lined up perfectly. In fact, the ability to shift the layers around a bit and create a garden of similar, but different flowers is part of what makes this set fabulous. Lastly, light to dark flowers look just as good as dark to light. One other thing I like to do is to add some of the die cut scraps from my garden picks set to this set - particularly one of the inside pieces of the large rose. It creates it's own small flower that works with this set.

These dies cut and release so easily and the flowers are simple to assemble. They look gorgeous when finished.

This way of cutting all one color at a time is sensational! Please do more this style! Only drawback, is you can't do single curs in the front of your card for lay in type. But that's ok, I love these!

This is such a fun die set to play with! It was easy to cut & arrange. Thanks Altenew, for all the fine picture examples you provide & the You Tube Tutorial.
