Same technique I used on my previous card: First to create the watercolor look I inked the solid part of the stencil with distress inks but this time I forgot to spritz with water first so the ink did not spread out as much. Laid the wc cs on top, removed and then let dry. Then here is the fun part- the flower stamp corresponds to the stencil shape, so then I stamped it on all the flowers. I then put the stencil back in place and sponged the green ink the "correct" way through the stencil, as well as the text stamp and a grunge dots stamp for a bit more texture. I cut the panel in half to use in 2 separate cards. Embossed the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape.

I love the combination of dryer stamping with wetter blends! It's as if you've invented a technique that combines the beauty of both! Delightful execution and thank you for being DOUBLY inspired today!

although your directions seem simple and uncomplicated, I have no idea how you did what you did. Love how you created such a beautiful bg. Love the CAS design, too, Maura.
