Happy New Year!
Dina Kowal created beautiful jewely using die cuts!
I cut the maple shapes from a piece of cardstock that protects my work surface from extra ink and paint, then cut 3 more layers for each piece from watercolor paper and glued all the layers together with Tacky Glue. After trimming the stems and punching a hole for the ring, I coated each piece front and back with Crystal Lacquer.
I got the idea for this project from THIS VIDEO -- the dies sure made the shaping a breeze!
Have a great day!
What a lovely idea! The leaves look so lifelike too...

Really nice earrings and necklace set. What a great gift, or even to keep for myself!
