Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with a thank you card. I watercolored a peony cluster in a sketchy style, which I drew using the Pretty Peony Close Up Layering Stencils. Some time ago, I shared two cards in which I watercolored the main image in layers using layering stencils. For one of them, I stamped the outline using the coordinating stamp set, and for the other one, I drew the outline myself using a black fine liner after watercoloring the images using the layering stencils.

For today’s card, I tried another technique. I drew the peony image in a loose, sketchy style on a watercolor paper panel by tracing the outline of the openings of each stencil using a black Micron pen (size 02). I used all four stencils of the Pretty Peony Close Up set to create the peony sketch.

Next, I watercolored each layer separately and allowed the panel to dry completely each time.

Once I had finished the watercoloring, I cut the panel using a die from the Rectangle A2 Nested die set and foam mounted it on a gray cardbase. 

The sentiment was cut using the Script Word Die. I cut the word once from black cardstock and three times from gray cardstock, stacking them all together. The shadow layer was die cut in white . 

After I mounted the die cut sentiment, I finished the card with a few Glossy Black Opaque rhinestones. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope you will give this technique a try! Don’t forget to use a waterproof fine liner 🙂 !

Have a great day!
