Watercolor Rainbow Blends – Inlaid dies

I’ve had the All Inside stamp and die sets for quite a while, and they’ve been in my “USE ME SOON!” box. Well now, I used them, wheee!

I am a stamping nooglehead, as I’ve said before, so I decided to stamp *just* the face of the bear and save myself all that alignment. I used my MISTI to make it happen, and then watercolored my heart out!

The card is nice and flat with just the heard and hands having a little dimension 🙂

On the inside, I stamped my sentiment from another Essentials by Ellen set, and added a little diecut Bitty Envelope that I watercolored.

That is one cute bear – great dies

This was a great tutorial. I had no idea how to do that kind of die cutting. I think I see a rainbow card in my future.

Very creative design! The inset dies add an extra punch of interest without the need for more dimension. What a great idea! And I love the way you colored everything! The bear is super cute there in Rainbowville!
