Tutorial: Use your Dies as Stencils to color with Watercolors

Hello dear blogger friends:

Here Bibiana showing you how to stretch your steel dies!

Use them as stencils 
to color with your watercolor brushes...

I made these 2 very different cards using the same dies (3 dies in total)...
some watercolor brushes to paint, and here it is the result!

Step 1:

Step 2;
Use the negative section of this die and use it as an stencil. 
Place it over watercolor paper.
Paint the flowers with a purple "Zig Clean" watercolor brush. 
Then add water with a Watercolor brush to soften the color

Step 3:

this time chose a green color brush to color the leaves
