Would you like to see a new FUN way to use your stencils? Layering stencils give us so many more options and today I decided to use them just a little bit differently!
But first did you know that Altenew has a new stand-alone die release and I just had to make a card! And we are hopping along at Altenew so you should have arrived here from NATHALIE’s amazing Blog!
I do have 2 cards to share with you today starting with a ‘glittery‘ layered Pattern Motif Die.
I did keep this card very clean and simple.
And a ‘wedding’ sentiment from the Paint-A-Flower: Carnations Stamp Set.
My second design uses the Impressionist Bouquet Layering Stencil Set and it’s the layers that allow the magic to happen. To see how I achieved the extra ‘watercoloury’ look check out my video linked below.
I also added some Polka Dot Leaves as well as a Mix and Match Frames die cut panel.
And a sentiment from the Ornamental Bliss Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Therese, beautiful card and a fun technique. Thank you for sharing
Love this card and technique! I plan to give it a try.
Beautiful cards Therese.
The watercoloring is dreamy beautiful! Thanks for sharing the technique.
I love the watercolor card! Thank you for the video. You demonstrate card making and techniques so well, even I understand them!
Altenew have always had the best flower stamps and dies on the market. Now they are fast becoming the leader of stencils. I just love the card with the stand alone die. So clean and simple, but so stunning.
Great use of the stencils. I always enjoy your inspiring videos, thank you!
I love it when your technique is “forgiving”! That means I cannot goof up, right? ‘ll give it a try and I hope my results are as beautiful as yours. Thank you for another way to stretch my creativity!
BTW—- how do you sharpen those woodless watercolor pencils?
Thanks so much June! The pencils don’t require sharpening very often but it’s easy enough to do with a regular pencil sharpener (just don’t ‘waste’ too much of the paint by sharpening it a lot).
Yep. I need to buy Patterned Motif. That die is magic.
great to see new ways to use supplies
Beautiful card! Love how you created the colors for the flowers and leaves…
I think the glitter cardstock under the white is gorgeous. Using watercolor for your first color with the stencil is simply genius! I think I am going to have to have this stencil just to use this technique. The results are stunning!
I’m intrigued with the layering stencils and think your card using the watercolor is awesome. Both cards are beautiful and I so appreciated the video for the watercolor technique.
Therese both cards are stunning, but I cannot wait to see a new stencil technique! Off I goooo….
=]
Both of your cards are beautiful but I absolutely love the elegant simplicity of your first! I never though of using glitter card stock as a shadow.
Never thought to use both the watercolor pencils and ink in that way on a card. Beautiful results! TFS.
Beautiful card and a great technique video!
ANNNNNNND the watercolor bouquet stencils and dies just went in my cart!
Hi Therese, I love both cards and as always, you have a new technique to share. Can’t wait to try it.
Absolutely gorgeous
Lovely cards! Really like the glittery card, clean and simple, but very elegant. The card you made in your video would look lovely as a framed picture.
Love the CAS design of the first card!
Stunning! I love the watercolour look on the flowers!
Both cards are so beautiful. The watercoloured card is such a great idea. I hope it’s going OK in lockdown.
Gorgeous cards, both. The deckled edging was a lovely touch to your beautiful watercolouring.
The watercolor card is so pretty. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous cards! Love the watercoloring!
Pretty cards and colours!
So Beautiful…I can’t wait to try what you did with the watercolor pencils.
Great cards, especially the way the glitter peaks out on the edges.
LOVE the patterned motif die. I want a quickie video! Is it as simple as it looks?
Always look forward to an Altenew release and no disappointment here. Gorgeous cards and popping over to YouTube land to watch the video!
Cheers
Lisa
Wow! I tried to imagine doing the background watercolor wash myself and decided it would look like a hot mess. But I love how it turned out when you did it!
Lovely cards, looking forward to watching the process video! I need to learn how to get that extra “watercolory” look!
Fabulous technique and beautiful card.
Very beautiful!
Fantastic Therese I loved watching the video. Great idea
Dear Therese
It is lovely.tc stay safe
I love the technique on your video! Your cards are gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing this diy colored paper!! You achieve such brilliant color from what appears to be only a bit of watercolor pencil! I love how the leaves cover so much of the card and really support the florals. Blues and greens together are my favorite combination.
Beautiful cards.
Always enjoy and learn from your vides. lovely cards
Gorgeous card. Love the new technique, and will have to give it a try.
Your always come us with the most unique techniques! I’m often skeptical, but they always turn out beautifully. Gorgeous cards.

Your cards are beautiful! That first one looks so elegant!
I love the glitter blue with white on white!

What a perfectly wonderful touch of sparkle with the blue glitter behind the white. Now I must have that die, too. Goodbye self control…
