I chose this color combo because I am also participating in this week's Art Nudge on FB.
I started with a light green watercolor wash and added color following Dina's tutorial as closely as I could.
For the die cut I used Lydia's Faux Heat Embossing technique! This is such fun! I know you can't see the shine on the word but it's there. The packing tape also adds extra sturdiness to the word die without having to build up layers. I always end up with glue everywhere when I add more layers to word die cuts.
