Altenew Rhododendrun Layering Dieset and Background Tutorial

I won an Altenew gift card, so I bought the Rhododendrun Layering Dieset. I wanted my card to look like a dimensional watercolor painting. By far, the most questions I get are about how to get a layered ink or paint background. The answer is, water, ink or paint and drying between layers. Also you need a paper that can handle all the wetting and drying. 

Here's the YouTube video tutorial I made:

Honestly, I enjoy the process and if you watch the video you can see how many layers I make. Some of it is to cover some mistakes, lol. I find it so fun and relaxing.

For the rhododendrun I pretty much use the same technique (or lack of technique) and just cover the petals and leaves, using uneven application. It looks better that way, to me.
