Stencil Metallic Watercoloring on Black MM Paper

I am Hooked on Metallic Watercoloring on Black MM Paper

because of my dear creative friends Lolly and Bonnie!

Click on their links to view their Gorgeous Metallic painting on Black MM cards💖

Of course...I had to create my own version...Instead of stamping an image on

the black Strathmore Mixed Media paper I die cut The Greetery 

"Leaves All Around" image to paint!

I was pleased that the photo showed the shine on the left die cut leaves

 and the darker colors on the right die cut leaves.  

It is not easy to take photos of metallics!

The shine really shows up on the Gansai Gem metallic pan watercolors:-)

I attached the die cut leaves to my Brutos Munroe Sticky Mat and placed the 

#1 "Leaves All Around" Stencil over the die,  which stuck nicely to the mat.

Then I used a #1 paint brush to paint carefully thru the stencil.

Next I did the same with the #2 and #3 Leaves all Around Stencils:-)

After done,  I let the paint dry thoroughly then used Altenew " Silver Gel Pen"

to trace around the edges of the leaves using the #1 and #2 Stencils.

  

Removed the #2 stencil and was very pleased with my metallic watercoloring:-)

I did die cut another black mm paper layer to use to pop up my leaves.

Next watercolored a scrap of white mm paper with the Gem Red paint and die cut the

Joyful sentiment from the CUTplorations Christmas Sentiments Die set."

Did a little surgery as the "Joy" fit better. I die cut a 2nd Joy with the Black MM paper

and attached to pop up the sentiment.

I used Altenew "Fine Frames Cover Die" to frame my image, which

worked out perfectly!  I attached the leaves and Joy with Connect glue.

Next attached my card front to SU Basic White 110# A2 Cardbase and Done!

Thank you Lolly and Bonnie for always inspiring me to try New Techniques😍

Now my head is spinning with more ideas:-)

This was my 1st time to use The Greetery "Leaves All Around" Die set and 3 in 1

Stencil set.  A big thank you to my dear friend that gifted me this wonderful set:-)

We are quickly turning from Fall weather to a wet early Winter season:-)

Which means...I have more time for crafting:-)  We had one of our best ever veggie/ 

 berry garden this year,  so I have been on overload harvesting and putting 

up delicious, beautiful fresh Organic produce for the year😍

Love and Hugs to all my dear friends...I so appreciate your visits!
