Watercolour Floral Card with Stencilled Background

Start with a white top-folding note card and a piece of white cardstock for layering.

Wet the white cardstock with clean water using a brush.

Drop watercolour paint (ochre tones) onto the wet card and let it bloom naturally.

Place a stencil with a leaf design over the damp cardstock.

Apply white paste through the stencil using a tool to create texture and resist.

Dry the piece and apply coral acrylic paint over the stencil in places.

Spray the whole piece lightly with water and add gold spray for shimmer.

Stamp the floral image twice in white embossing powder and heat set.

Die-cut the stamped images using the coordinating dies.

Paint the die-cut floral elements with watercolours in greens, blues and purples, spraying with water to create loose, abstract finishes.

Mount the painted background onto black cardstock to make it pop.

Adhere the painted floral elements to the card using 3D pads for dimension, positioning them off-centre.
