It's so much fun to work with stencils, but even more fun when you design and create your own. That's just what I did for today's card.
I cut a circle from watercolor paper, so it would be sturdy. I then cut shapes where I thought they would go together to make a good design.
I laid it over my card and used a sponge with my stencil.
After I had all the design just the way I wanted it to look, I added a light watercolor background around my stenciled leaves. I also sponged around the edges of this top layer of my card. Then, I spritzed it with my spritz mixture, to give it a very subtle, all-over sparkle.
I sponged the edges of the inside of the card and then added a stenciled leaf. I stenciled a leaf onto the envelope to coordinate with the over-all design.
I cut a couple of leaves and a flower, using the coordinating framelits and attached them to the lower right corner of my card front. Adding a black mat under the stenciled layer really makes the design pop. This was a super fun card to create and I really like how it turned out. I hope this will encourage you to try your hand at some stenciling.
