Tuscan Olive Branch

Hello! Here today with a card made for my monthly stamping group's exchange. It features Simon Says Stamp's Tuscan Olive Branch along with Stamp Simply's Welcome Fall stamp sentiment.

I began by  die cutting the olive branch twice from watercolor paper. I then watercolored the die cuts with Daniel Smith watercolors and adhered them together for added dimension. 

The olive branch is then layered onto Craft Consortium Metal Textures decorator paper. The sentiment from the Welcome Fall stamp set is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink onto the watercolor, then die cut with a rectangle die.

The colors are so very rich in person. Simple and easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by and see you Friday!
