Materials Used:  (*affiliate links)

• #666690 Sizzix Watercolour Flowers & Lattice 4 pc Stencil Set by Eileen Hull*
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks from Ranger*:  Barn Door*, Spiced Marmalade*, Fired Brick*, Peeled Paint*, Crushed Olive*, Gathered Twigs*, Scattered Straw*,  
• Olive Green Dye Inkpad*
• Ranger Ink Applicator*
• Watercolor Paper*

Since I don’t have the New Tool* yet, I thought I would show you how I used the stencils without the tool.

How to use the Watercolor Flowers & Lattice Stencil:

• I started with a Watercolor Paper* base for my card front.
• Cut the paper longer than the stencil.
• Center and tape the stencil onto the paper.
• Using a pencil, fill in the holes to create a guide to line up the remaining stencils.

Stencil #1 Lattice Background

• Line up the holes of the lattice stencil with the pencil guide marks.
• Put a piece of tape to hold the stencil in place.  
• Rub an Ink Applicator* over the Gathered Twigs Distress Inkpad*.  I wanted a subtle background, so I rubbed some of the ink onto scrap paper before using it on the stencil.  
• Remove stencil.

Stencil #2 Flowers

• Line up Stencil #2 using the pencil guide marks.  Use tape to hold the stencil in place.
• Using an Ink Applicator*, rub Barn Door Distress Ink* onto the flower stencil.
• To add dimension to the flower, add a second complementary color.
• I rubbed Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink* over the flower stencil for contrast.
• Remove Stencil.

Stencil #3 Leaves

• Line up Stencil #3 using the pencil guide marks.  Use tape to hold the stencil in place.
• I rubbed Peeled Paint Distress Ink* over the leaves using the Ink Applicator*.  To add dimension, I also used Crushed Olive Distress Ink* on the leaves.
• Rub Scattered Straw Distress Ink* in the center of each flower.  
• Remove stencil.

I could have stopped right here after removing the third stencil. 

It looks beautiful.  But as we all know it’s all about the details.

So, onto Stencil #4 to add the details.

Stencil #4 Details

• Line up Stencil #4 using the pencil guide marks.  Use tape to hold the stencil in place.
• Using the Ink Applicator*, I rubbed Fired Brick Distress Ink* onto the center flowers.
• I rubbed Olive Green Dye Ink* over the leaves to create veining.
• Remove stencil.

The finished stenciled flowers.

• Cut the stenciled flowers to size and layer onto coordinating cardstock for a beautiful floral card.
