Had fun using a new to me Watercolor technique for my background.  Yes,  went to my background stash for another quick Stencil card design.

I used Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper and a 1/4" wide paint brush with Kuretake Gamsai Tampi W/C Paints to make my background using a Dry Brush on wet W/C paint.  I tried Hot Press and Mixed Media paper,  but did not work as well as the Cold Press paper,  which has more texture.

I did one partial swipe and then changed color and continued until I was happy with the background result.  When background was dry I attached only part of the slimline "Wheels" stencil using masking tape.  Then outlined the Wheels with Sakura Pigma Sensei 0.4 mm Black pen.  Added background to my stash.

The 1st thing I did was die cut the background with Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die using the largest die.  Then centered the smallest die from the set and die cut.  Attached A2 die cut background to 100# white CS cardbase.

Then popped up the smaller center die cut image with craft foam and added a stamped with Archival Jet Black ink the Trendy Feathers 2 sentiment 

and Done!  Loved how it turned out!

You have until the end of January to play along.  Be sure and use at least one stencil.  you do not have to use a STAMPlorations stencil,  but we love it when you do:-)
