MIM # 251 Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts

Dawn has a video over at Capture the Moment showing how she used watercolors to make a gradient look on die cuts.
I added a few flower sequins from one of Betsy's Kits and called it good.  I used the Zig water color pens.
This die is from PTI: Paper Clippings:  Thank You.
These are a couple of Dawn's cards:

Very pretty Colleen! Love the blues and greens too, and am also sitting here wondering if I should have picked up that die now?! Didn't think I needed it at the time, but after seeing your card (and Linda's) I'm re-thinking that!! Beautiful, beautiful card! :0)
