Stencil & Watercolour wedding cards

I’ve been creating quite a few patterned panels using stencils and watercolour while designing a workshop. There have been many experiments and most, but not all, have turned out quite well. You can see in the photo below the Creative Expressions square ‘Clematis Burst’ stencil beside two panels. The bright one on the left was the first impression and the one on the right the second impression using paint remaining on the stencil.

As I never seem to have any wedding cards on hand when someone asks for one I decided to make both panels into wedding cards, one bold and one subtle. I cut the sentiments on the cricut and also the large red heart

When you look closely you can see both ‘prints’ are loose and a bit messy but I don’t mind the impressionistic look!

I used a gold gel pen to add definition to the flowers on the lighter print, not every petal but enough to make sure they looked like flowers!

I am teaching a Stencils & Watercolour workshop here in Ottawa in late April and early May, you can find all the details on the CLASSES page.
