The die you could win, if you leave a comment on this post, is the Woven Circle Ring die!  More information on the Spring Release Blog Blitz at the end of my post. 

My card features the Woven Circle Ring and Delightful Daisy dies, both from the Spring Release!

I don’t do watercolors often, but I was quite pleased how this daisy turned out! The Woven Circle Ring was the perfect backdrop for my watercolor.

A simple pop of black sets off the whole card!

The following video will show you just how easy my Delightful Daisy was to color!
