I made a card using the Peony Number two Stencil. Let me show the card first...
Well as you can see, I did watercoloring yet again. The design layout of this card is inspired by fabulous Therese Calvird's Card, HERE. She is so amazing, I am always inspired by her stunning creations :)
So once I did all the cutting of my watercolor panel. I used the stencil to trace it on my paper with a pencil. I wanted to achieve some delicate watercoloring effects. Then I watercolored it. I also traced the central part of the peony on another watercolor card stock. Colored it and layered it over the base. Yay! you can do layering with stencils too ;)
To add more interest, I hand drew fine lines on each petal with a white gel pen and did some text stamping and sentiment stamping. I then adhered this panel on my base panel :)
I have used  ARTplorations Peony Number Two Stencil, Friends and Flowers, Mixed Media Elements Stamp set , Edge Border Dies and Gansai tambi watercolors.I am quite happy with the results. Let me know your thoughts too and don't forget to hop, HERE



Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

    Simply 'awesome' Deepti. That flower is gorgeous and I love the background together with just a touch of the same colour in the corner with your sentiment. Beautiful!

    Wow!
    Love the colors - they really pop.
    Layering the center part of the flower
    gives it so much dimension.
    Fantastic.
    thanks for sharing
