MIM #282

MAKE IT MONDAY

Stenciled Watercolor Backgrounds 

Betsy is up on MIM this week with what she calls an easy technique for creating pretty watercolor backgrounds using stencils.  Well, I think Betsy can make any thing she does seem effortless and easy, but I am going to give this a try anyway :-)

I finally inked up my new "What The Doodle: Waves" stamp set 
and used the "Wood Grain" stencil for the watercolor background, I thought it could pass for water ;-)  
The grey base card is embossed with the Anchors embossing folder from Kaiser Craft which I received as a little gifty from a sweet friend. 💓
Not entirely thrilled with the outcome, but ran out of time this week for posting a card. 
Anyone else out there think time is whizzing by waaaay too quickly??
