<p>I created a watercolor background with Distress Oxide ink using smooshing technique and some water. And then I dried the background. After that I added the stencil on top of the watercolor paper, taped it down with stencil tape. I used the oval blending brush to blend the colors from Distress Oxide inks. </p>



<p>After that, I removed the stencil and added some splatters of water on it. I dabbed off some of the water and dried the whole background panel with craft heater. </p>



<p>I trimmed a black cardstock into 4&#8243; x 5.25&#8243; to create the background black mat for the card. And then, I trimmed the stenciled background panel into 3.75&#8243; x 5&#8243;. I added both backgrounds on the card with permanent adhesive runner.</p>



<p>I cut out those two word dies with white and black cardstocks. I stacked them together with permanent dries clear glue and I added on the card with the permanent adhesive runner.</p>



<p>That&#8217;s my card for today. I hope this give you an inspiration to create with your stencil.
