I taped my metal stencil to the water colour paper and used a water brush and SU ink pads to water colour through the stencil. I moistened the water colour paper first and used a paper towel to remove some of the moisture so it wouldn't run under the stencil edges much. After it dried I used the stencil and light box to dry emboss the image including around the outside edges of the stencil to frame it. Then I rewet the edges of the WC paper and added two shades of blue.
This isn't as CAS as it could be but I couldn't resist that chevroned paper!

Wow...this turned out wonderfully. I would have expected the watercolors to bleed under the stencil, but your image is pristine. Amazing job with the shading of colors in your lovely flower.
