We are starting the year off with a bang! Hideko (Papercraft Boutique) is hosting this month and she has chosen ...
Stamped my peonies onto mixed media paper with permanent black ink and watercoloured using distress inks. Temporary taped my matching die over top and then positioned the edge of my top cutting plate where I wanted the cut to be. Easy, peasy! I backed the image with some a beautiful soft green card stock and white heat embossed the sentiment. For my CAS card design I have stamping, watercolouring, partial die-cutting, and heat embossing.
Here's a close-up ...

Happy New Year, Loll! I love your fabulous card, the green background really makes the beautiful image stand out. I've never tried partial die-cutting, something else to add to my list of techniques to try in 2020! xx
I LOVE your stamped, watercolored and partially die cut flowers, Loll!! I can't wait to try this wonderful technique. All the videos are so helpful too.
Such a sweet photo of Jessie. Her eyes are such a pretty blue and love her wet fur:-) TFS Happy New Year, My friend. Hugs..Nancy
I've not done partial die cutting so this is new to me. Your card came out so pretty and I hope I get good results too. Jessie looks so cute even with her wet fur.
What a gorgeous card Loll and love the pretty red flowers against that beautiful bright green and love the white sentiment too. Wishing you a very happy and creative 2020. What a lovely photo of Jessie, she is so cute. I can't decide whether she likes the rain or not. x
I would not have been able to do that cut in a million years. Wow, that's impressive. It pays to persevere! Beautifully done. And the little doggie face is one of the cutest I've ever seen.
Lovely as can be! Gorgeous flowers next to the pretty green panel! Wonderful sentiment, too! And, darling photo of Jessie!
Beautiful Loll, I love the intricate flower image I'm so impressed you did a partial die cut with it.

Happy New Year Loll. I love your gorgeous card with the partial die-cutting and your coloring those beautiful flowers. They look perfect against the pretty green. TFS
Happy New Year my friend, and what a great start. I love your partially die-cut flowers and the green cardstock behind really makes them pop. I think I need to start using coloured cardstock more! xx
I love the green background for the flowers. What a beauty!
Love this one, it is the colour that does it for me xx
Happy New Year dear Loll. Jessie is definitely a cutie. Back to this gorgeous card. You've done honours with this technique and your painting is simply incredible. The green card stock just brings this bouquet to life. Beautiful xx
These flowers are so beautiful, Loll, and perfect for the partial die cut technique! I love the green background! A perfect card for a perfect day!
Gorgeous card, Loll! I think partial die-cutting is the perfect technique for these peonies and your watercoloring is beautiful!
I love Jessie's expression in this photo...she is such a cutie-pie :)
Happy New Year!!!
I love this technique and you've done it beautifully, Loll.
Glad to hear that the partial die cutting isn't as hard as it sounds! Yours turned out really well - love the border of flowers against the green. And they are beautifully shaded flowers too!
Meant to also say - adorable photo of Jessie! Looking forward to seeing her tomorrow.
Stunning card and expertly executed! I must say, having warped plates can make this technique difficult, so I'm going to try it again with new plates.
Thank you for the kind introduction, Loll! I'm so glad that you tried the technique again and loved the results. Fantastic job of the technique!
The red flowers look fabulous against both the green and the white backgrounds. The placement of the sentiment is perfect.
Jessie looks as cute as ever with her wet hair. :-)
