Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Watercolor Stenciling
Hi friends! Happy Monday! Welcome back to our weekly Studio Monday with Nina-Marie feature! I hope you are enjoying our subject matter so far! If you have anything you’d like to see from us, please feel free to leave it in the comments below and we will definitely put it into consideration! For now, please enjoy the beauty of this post, and be sure to check out the video!
Enjoy!
Hi there, it’s Nina-Marie here today with another Studio Monday video for you! I love creating watercolor effects with my distress inks, and I’m sure most of you here do too! But sometimes we need a card (or multiple cards) in short notice, and we often think we cannot do more involved techniques like watercoloring because of the amount of time it takes.
In today’s video I am going to share with you a watercolor background technique that was created with just a few distress ink colors and a stencil! I ended up making a total of five cards using this technique in just a couple hours… making this a perfect design for quick and easy cards!
I used the new Hero Arts Bold Floral stencil for the watercolored backgrounds on each of these cards… the artistic design of this stencil made it a perfect fit for the cards I wanted to create. However, you can easily swap out this stencil for just about any other stencils you have in your stash!
I also used the Concord and 9th Being Classy stamp and die set; these stamps and dies came out last year but it is one of my favorites still and I love the large type in the set. I stamped my sentiments in Hero Arts Tangerine bold ink and Soft Pool shadow ink.
So to see how I created these cards from start to finish, be sure to check out the video below! If you enjoy, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more inspiration and techniques!
Thanks so much for stopping by and spending part of your Monday with me… I’ll see you again soon!
xoxo, Nina-Marie
