Watercoloring Through a Stencil

[@wyntermackenzie4952]

I really like how much the watercolored cutout heart & word added to the card - pulled it together a bunch. thanks!

[@MsJet1]

I am never disappointed with your projects!

[@arthurdelosreyes6480]

It looks really, REALLY, beautiful. For a 13 year-old, who could only dream to do the stuff you do is SO inspiring. I just wanna say thank you. Your card making makes me happy when I'm down. Again, THANK YOU 💗

[@LedgerAndLace]

I couldn't say it any better! (Except I'm a couple-few years older). To paraphrase Rumi, Dreams come from the heart that whispers, "Do this." Listen.

[@arthurdelosreyes6480]

labyrinthrockgal I will, I just can't do anything because I don't have any materials and supplies since I'm just 13, but I would like to start as soon as possible!

[@runexheart]

You don't need expensive supplies to make beautiful things! You can use super cheap watercolour pans to learn painting techniques, ballpoint pens and printer paper to make beautiful drawings, chalk and the sidewalk to make murals that will make people smile :)

[@LedgerAndLace]

What runexheart said! Also, Drawing On The Right Side of The Brain is an EXCELLENT book to teach drawing. And all you need is a pencil and paper. Don't let lack or your age be a reason not to do something. Pencils are cheap and books are free at the library. Lots of tutorials on KZbin. GO FOR IT!!! :-)

[@erinhartley4566]

Just like everyone else said, you don't need expensive supplies!! I'm 12 and a card maker, I order supplies online where you can get ink pads for $2 each, they may not be Distress inks, but they still work perfectly fine. Don't let your age or budget stop you creating cards! I wish you success in your future cardmaking💗💗💗!!!!

[@carmensharma9296]

beautiful and gorgeous. Thanks.

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Kristina ~ Gorgeous results with this stencil....I'm definitely going to give this a try! (Wish I had all those plastic doily things my mother used to have around the house when I was a kid! LOL...they'd probably work well too.). Thanks for sharing. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters

[@DinoEsculturas]

Do you still need postal adresses? I'm from Argentina and i'd be honored to receive one of your cards. Your works are amazing!

[@ΔεσποιναΤσιρου]

it is so beautiful you are very good at this

[@ownsacat]

I like the second one that was more watery, and seeped a little BETTER then the first one. It looks real nice. Would make a great background

[@JayDub_143]

Simply beautiful once again! Love, love, love it!

[@pattiepan]

interesting results.....the first one was very good.

[@andrealavigne7824]

The first background you did, with the bold colors, looks like a Mexican tile! Gorgeous backgrounds, & I love your finished card. Tfs! :)

[@ashleywright824]

Why do you use an acrylic block to spray the watercolor as opposed to tapping a brush? Curious.

[@kwernerdesign]

Because I feel like I have more control of where the paint splatters. Give it a try and see if you notice a difference as well. :)

[@IshaniScards]

what a great way to use stencils.. and you have such pretty hands!

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Very Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@shirleyping7058]

I love this technique and the card turned out really pretty... I think the more subtle background is my favorite...

[@Papergrace]

Gorgeous stencil and card, Kristina. Love the colors you opted to use from your palette. Really lovely. ♥

[@Kandicookheller]

I've been watching you tube videos for a few months now and learning a lot. I love that now I am doing the same things and now know the techniques and have learned all this from you. In the beginning it was all gibberish. I love your work and still am in awe of your talent. At least now I understand everything. I'm now a hoarder of supplies and I wonder if I'll live long enough to use them all. I have found my passion: art.

[@MrsAngela65]

Wow really adorable card and gorgeous technique♥ Many thanks for sharing us. Hugs Angela

[@terrie1226]

great technique Kristina....tfs

[@lorisullivan327]

Hi Kristina! Great job! Lots of helpful hints - I’ve found a lot of seepage too, so thanks for the hints! Also,I know it’s been addressed, but if anyone can give me hints on what watercolor card stock doesn’t pill, I’d be thankful! I got Canson, used it with distress inks,and it’s pilled like mad and I’ve had to throw some away... Tim Holz has been my mainstay but wondered if anyone has better info- thanks so much! Have a great day and God bless!

[@kwernerdesign]

Hmm... You're getting pilling with Canson XL (is it the XL watercolor paper?)? Usually when you get pilling it's because there is too much water on the paper all at once and your brush is "scratching" the soft wet fibers. You might need to let the paper dry a bit before working on it some more. Try to work in layers. Usually that helps quite a bit. I use Canson XL watercolor paper frequently and haven't had any pilling issues.

[@lorisullivan327]

Thank so much! I lost the cover of the pad, but I think it’s just the regular watercolor card stock.. thank you for the heads up! I’ll implement that!

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Love that gold heart card Beautiful

[@jackieprice7800]

Beautiful cards and beautiful stencils!! Thanks for the helpful hints on painting with stencils.

[@1jmass]

Gorgeous design and card. Did you have the beauty mark removed from your hand? I noticed the bandage.

[@donnadacy5876]

Interesting technique. I love how they turned out. I must try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@sallycain3716]

wow! I really didn't think that would work but it does! Whole new lease of life for my stencils!

[@fullermoments]

[@teresadoyle1396]

My goodness Kristina your ideas amaze me. This is just beautiful!

[@katherinehaught7950]

Wow, this is so beautiful! Glad you tried that re-positional glue . I want to learn to water color.

[@pamschonfarber1041]

BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE HOW THOSE FINETEC PAINE LOOK, WISH THEY WEREN'T SO EXPENSIVE

[@kathrynd6779]

Wow, that is so beautiful. The pearlescent tint to the watercolors pairs sooo well with that beautiful patterned stencil.
