In today's tutorial I will share how I used layering sunflower stencils to create a water color look to my image. Notice there is no stamp outline, that helps achieve a more organic look to the project. I learned a few things along the way, and almost want to include a few blooper photos! Instead I share the way that will give you the cleanest look avoiding the pit falls!
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours
Directions:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Secure next layer of layering stencil in place and spritz with Fireworks! in Bamboo Leaves. This photo shows a spray box that protects your work area from over spray. It also shows the best distance of 12" to 18" to spray the stencil to avoid large droplets of Firewoks.
Step 4:
Continue with additional layering stencils. Here Dandelion is used for Stencil 3, and Tangelo for Stencil 4.Step 5:
Step 6:
Here are the images from the entire stencil set.
Step 7:
Step 8:
Tap drop of Fireworks! in Dandelion on white watercolor paper trimmed to 3 3/4" x 5". Use quilted card front die to add texture to front panel.
Step 9:
Part of the remaining background section is stamped with Memento Luxe in Lilac Posies using a sentiment from the Sunflowers stamp set. It is die cut with a Spellbinder die.Step 10:
The Sunflower is die cut with the coordinating die. The layers are adhered together with Tear It! Tape with dimension foam tape behind the card front.
