I joined in the fun on Nichole Heady's blog for the Make It Monday Challenge! Betsy Veldman has a video to create stenciled watercolor backgrounds and it's easier than you think. I feel like I cheated by using my Zig Clean Color brush pens yet it uses the same process with the exception of "loading" my brush. :-) After taping down a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Tim Holtz distress watercolor cardstock topped off with a Simon Says Stamp's Chevron Pattern stencil, it was watercoloring time. I chose four Zig brush pens: Pale Green, Light Blue, Cobalt Blue and Turquoise Green. I gold embossed a sentiment (love that font!) from PTI's newly released Pen and Ink set on heavy weight vellum. I adhered it to the card base using a light spray of Elmer's Craft Bond spray adhesive. I embellished with a circle scribble die and a couple of leaves from PTI's Delightful Dahlia Additions stamp set with matching die.

Wow. I love everything about this card. Thanks for the detail. . .especially about how you adhered the vellum. Straight into my favorites. I have been admiring that Chevron stencil on many cards, so it might be time for me to get it! This card has pushed me over the edge on making the decision!
