Watercolouring through a Stencil

Hi everyone.  Had a play day last weekend with my CAS team mates, Susan, Christine and Trina.  We tried out a few new things and one was using rubber cement with stencils and watercolouring.  Rubber cement is an old fashioned product that is very inexpensive to use, but it does have a strong smell, so best to use it in a well ventalated room (or even outside if the weather permits).

We followed the instructions on this video tutorial and it worked great!

For my card I used red and pink to watercolour the roses, so I'm adding this to the CAS Watercolour challenge gallery for February.  There's still a few days left before the challenge closes at end of day Feb. 24th.  Come check out the beautiful red and pink gallery ... it's really something to see!



Here's a close-up ...
I really like this technique and will definitely do more cards.  I thought this turned out really well for my first try.

    Is it just me or are new and amazing techniques coming out more frequently than they ever did before in this hobby? This one is awesome and so easy (my favorite kind) and you did a sensational job with it, Lolly! Your card is so pretty! Now if you could add five more hours to my day ...! Hugs, Dolly

    So pretty finished into a card, Loll. Beautiful watercolouring as always. I just bought some Elmer’s cement glue to do more if this technique.

    I couldn't imagine how you'd use rubber cement in stamping, so I watched the video. Interesting! This turned out very pretty. Love the sweet, fresh green with pink. You make CAS look so good!

    I adore the oval aperture with the pretty stencilled flowers behind Loll, and a matching colour for the sentiment too. x

    You definitely master watercolouring. ...even through a stencil, now that's difficult. Love the matching coloured sentiment and the popping up of that oval aperture. Bravo! xx
