On each of the card stock layers I have added a hand painted greeting using the Hello You Framelits. Now I have not cut the words, painted them, and then glued them in place, instead I cut the words from Vellum Card Stock and then used the vellum negative for a stencil. I applied Two-Way Glue to the stencil and let it dry completely so the adhesive would be temporary. Then I positioned my stencil on a piece of card stock and watercolored inside the cutout.
Once the paint was dry I carefully pulled the stencil away. I added some White Signo Gel Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, and Project Life Pen details to highlight the words. For the "you rock" card I even watercolored the Wooden Embellishment. I waited for it to be dry before stampiin' it.
The cool thing about this stencil watercolor technique is that the stencils are reusable for several applications. I will mention I tried this same technique with light-weight window sheets and it DID NOT work. I was hoping to create a more permanent stencil but, it was a failure. Even though the Two-Way Glue dried on the plastic it left behind a residue of stickiness on the card stock. And not just a little that you could rub off with an adhesive remover, but a lot. Enough to totally kill it (in a bad way).
