I really love the look of watercolor and the Make It Monday video by Betsy this week made me very happy! I love stencils and I love watercoloring!
My only problem was I don't have a stencil from Papertrey Ink. Yet! So, I cut out a 'stencil' using the cover plate Sunflower die. Got out some of my Papertrey Ink cubes and got inky! I probably should have used my smaller watercolor brush for the dots in the center of the flower but part of the fun of watercolor is the imperfect look. I cut out a stitched oval in vellum card stock and the sentiment in Dark Chocolate. Adhered those to the card by using glue just behind the sentiment so it's hidden. I adhered the whole panel onto a piece of Dark Chocolate card stock and then adhered the entire piece to a white card base. I added a few sparkling clear droplets from Katscrappiness and BAM!
Here are the products I used for this card:
Card Stock: White, Dark Chocolate (PTI), Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor (SSS) Vellum (SU!)
Inks: Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Saffron Spice, Dark Chocolate, Ripe Avocado (PTI)
Tools: Cover Plate: Sunflower die, Boho Rounds Sentiments die (PTI)
Adhesive: Tombow Mono Multipurpose liquid glue (SSS)
Miscellaneous: Sparkling Clear Droplets (Katscrappiness)
Please leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you thought of my creation.
Thanks for stopping by!
See ya next time.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGood use of that sunflower coverplate! I fight with that die to get a good cut...so maybe I should save one of the good cuts and use it for a stencil, like you did! Thanks for that great idea, and your card is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had a bit of a tussle with my cover plate, too. But it was worth it... made a great stencil!
DeleteCrystal, I think this turned out great and perfect way to improvise creating a stencil from a cover plate. Spot on!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
