I used watercoloured paper and taped my stencil to the paper then on my glass mat I chose my colours and painted through the stencil after giving each section a wash with water.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

I like how it worked out, in particular on the BIG.&nbsp; I finished my card by adding nuvo drops to give a little texture and matted it on blue card.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I used the Net Lace stencil on the corner of my watercolour card and used just 2 colours &#8211; pretty peony and eggplant through the stencil.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/StencilWCSmile.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;
