Watercolored Roses

Morning.
Nazeema, here to share a fun way to use the stencil just released last month. 
This week, it was all about flowers.  So going with the theme, I grabbed the new Spring Florals stencil.  This stencil is 6x6 and has 4 different flowers on it, which are all fabulous.
For my card today, I used only one of the roses for this card.  I started by cutting the rectangular shape using a die and scrap piece of cardstock.  I did this because, I knew I was going have a great white space area and this was easier than masking.  Using the Spring Floral stencil, I added some color using my Intense color pencils.  Holding the stencil in place, I took a small brush and very little water and colored the area.  I did the same step for the other two roses, just flipping the stencil and turning it to get a different angle.   
After the water dried, I rubbed the edges with Blue China distress ink.  It was a little brighter than I wanted it to be, so I toned it down with Antique Linen.  I created a thick border around the image and stamped the sentiment. 

Here are the supplies I've used on my card today:

Spring Florals

The flowers were created with the Spring Florals stencil from SweetStamps line - Art Stencils, it has four flowers on one stencil and this card uses two of them.  I also used the Basket Weaves stencil around the edges.

I used a simply method of masking off using mainly the straight edge of paper and painters tape and only had to make a couple cuts to curve my lines and moved the paper around as needed for the next sponging.
