Today, I am sharing a Valentine’s Day card again 🙂 This time I am sharing a card I made using a selective stenciling techique with watercolor that I learned from The StampNation class – Creative Stencil and Medium class.

I used Canson Watercolor paper 140 lbs as card base. I did the selective coloring using Blossom Silhouettes – ARTplorations Stencil using Distress Mink Ink Pad (Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn) that I added the inks on the acrylix blocks and using Aquash watercolor brush (Pentel) to paint. I learned that using less water on the brush is better and would give better control of the ink when using stencil, becuase if the brush too wet, the ink or watercolor paint will bleed under the stencil.

To give extra something to the background, I added some splatter using watercolor brush and some Black paint from Simple Art watercolor paint (Loew Cornell).

When the splatters dried completely, I stamped the sentimen from Someone Special (CTMH) with Black Chalk Edger (Prima Marketing) and adding some shadow on it using light grey watercolor paint.

I finished my card with a border I cut out of the Delilah designer paper from Scrapbok pack (I got this brand at Walmart).

So love how this card turn out 🙂 I do hope you also like it and be inspired! THANK YOU SO MUCH for visiting my blog today!

Word Art Wednesday #219

Valentine’s Day is approaching. And today I am sharing a one-layer, clean and simple Valentine’s Day card using a basic stenciling technique that I learned from the StampNation Technique Toolbox: Creative Stencil and Medium.

I cut a cardstock with Silhouette Cameo to create a circle stencil. Then I added the stencil on the card base (watercolor paper), secured it with washi tape, and then started stamping the heart inside the row of circles.

I skiped 4 hearts on the second row for the sentiment that I stamped using MISTI for solid image stamping.

Supplies I used on this card:

• Canson Watercolor Paper 140 lbs.
• My Anchor Stamp Set (CTMH)
• Silhouette Cameo (to create stencil)
• Picked Raspberry Mini Disterss Ink
• Black Chalk Fluid Edger (Prima Marketing)
• Acrylic stamping block
• MISTI

Valentine’s is 5 days away and today I am sharing a clean and simple card Valentine’s Day card that I made for Joyful Stars February Blog Hop and enter it at 3 challenge blogs.

For the blog hop, you should arrive from Donna’s blog, but if you are here first, you can continue hopping to make the loop. You can always go to Joyce’s blog to start and see the full listof participants.

On a piece of Watercolor Paper, I stamped all the flower images from Wavy Blooms stamp set using Black Archival Ink. Then I colored using Watercolor Pencils and using Blending Pen to give the watercolor look and it works perfectly for smaller lines like on those flowers. Less messy, too 🙂

I cut a strip of paper from La Vie En Rose paper packet to use as the bottom border on the front card, then I glued the watercolored flower paper on it.

For the sentiment and the inside of the card, I stamped the letters from Inked Alphabet stamp set using Black Archival Ink. Aren’t they beautiful handwriting style? I wish I could write that way 🙂

And I finished my card with some Red Enamel Heart and it’s ready for me to write some love notes.
