Itsy Bitsy Thincuts - Watering Can

Hello folks!

Itsy Bitsy has recently launched 15 new designs to add to their Thin Cut Dies collection. Each one of these is beautiful & I was sent this adorable Watering Can Set. 

I love plants & am blessed to have my studio adjacent to my terrace garden.

As soon as I received this die I knew I wanted to make plant markers.

Out comes my DREAM CUT & within minutes I have them ready, using the watering can die.

Isn't it cute! 

Next I have a couple of cards. For the first one I created a garden scene with the die cuts & rub ons. The bricked wall is a pattern paper from the "Texture Brew" pack. Colored the flowers black & leaves green with Alcohol Splash and the can with distress ink.

The next card is in the classic never fail black & white combination - 

I have layered a panel of corrugated white card stock over a white card base. The chevron pattern of the watering can is the only pop of color in this elegant card. The flowers too are die cut from the same corrugated paper. 

Here is a closer look at the texture of these flowers - 

The last one is my favorite!

Here I created a distress ink background & some splatters with water & Alcohol splash. Inlaid the watering can diecut in the background & used some gorgeous Little Birdies handmade flowers. 

You can grab these affordable dies from the nearest Itsy Bitsy store or place an online order here.

Decoupage Bottle featuring Decopatch Papers by Bob N Betty

Hello crafty souls, back with my love – DECOUPAGE & DECOPATCH PAPERS.

These papers are very thin & blend easily into the background to give a seamless finish. I wanted to use these papers on a curved surface like a bottle. The papers are 50gsm, just perfect for use on such surfaces too. I fussy cut the gorgeous lady (Floral Adornments) & decoupaged her over on the BIRDS & BUTTERFLIES background paper. Do you see how easily she blends over the background!

For some dimension I covered the lady with glossy accents & the glass like look was hard to capture on camera.

I covered the neck of the bottle with crackle paste & once dry rubbed metallique wax paste for a subtle metallic sheen.

Added some dangling resin embellishments too –
