Stencil Ghosting Technique

Here is another quick post to share a card for the CAS Stencil Card Challenge.


I sponged the watercolour panel with Distress Oxide Inks,  placed the stencil over the background and spritzed with water. The vital step is to quickly and carefully remove the stencil and use a paper towel to mop up any excess water. I found this worked better with some colours rather than others. 


I thought the MFT Otter would look good on this background.



I'm also entering the following challenge:-
3 Sequins:)
