I jumped on the watercolor bandwagon this week and created a little Valentine canvas for the family.  So let’s get to how easy it is.

1.  Lay out Hazel & Ruby’s stencil mask letters and press them down on your canvas.
(I used La Patessiere Alpha and Everyday Words.)

2.  Paint with watercolors.
I had never watercolored before, well, perhaps in grade school.  And I bought an inexpensive watercolor palette at Michael’s with a coupon.  I just brushed side to side using white and 2 pinks going for that ombre look.

3.  Spritz with Shimmer Spritz to add some sparkle here and there.
Allow to dry completely.

4.  When completely dry, outline stencils with the Irresistible Pico Embellisher.

5.  After the outline is completely dry, peel off letters.
