On to the next Level 2 lesson and this technique is titled With a Twist.  The lesson videos shared many ideas to create unique backgrounds.  I wanted to try something new which was the inlaid technique of stamping and then die cutting the pieces, adding color and returning them to the background paper.  I selected the Altenew Ethereal  Beauty stamp set and coordinating dies. These flowers have a great outline stamp and would be easy to color/paint.  I used watercolor paper for the stamping using Archival black ink as I would be painting the flowers.  Then I die cut the stamped flowers.  Painted them with Zig markers in shades of yellow and light orange.  When dry I added black dots using my favorite pen- black Glaze pen.  I stenciled the background using the Altenew gradient dot stencil with a light organge ink cube from Altenew a foam blender to created the inked background.

Next I put the die cut flowers back in the original space and taped them in place on the back side of the paper.  I die cut the piece using a stitched edge rectangle from My Favorite Things. To keep with the organge color theme, I stamped the sentiment on to light orange paper and stitched die cut oval from My Favorite Things.  I assembled the card using foam tape and then added a few pieces for the back of the tag.
