I made the background for this card earlier this week for the online watercolor class by using the stencil method plus watercolor - used distress inks and water with the stencil. Then I kept looking at it and couldn't quite decide how to use it on a card. So today I cut it into 3 parts, stitched all to another piece of cardstock by placing the pieces together randomly so the stripes and colors were varied. So then I had to look at it some more and finally just added the die cuts and a few sequins and called it a day.
Supplies:
Paper: Strathmore cold press watercolor paper; SU baja breeze; PTI vellum
Inks: Ranger distress
Other: Heidi Swapp stencil; sequins from stash; MB die
