Make it Monday #308 - 2017 A La Carte

It has been quite some time since I have entered a challenge, any challenge.  Last year had some difficult times, but this is a new year.  So here I am with a card for this challenge.

The challenge at Make it Monday is to pick one of the videos that you may have missed and create a project.  I chose Stenciled Watercolor by Betsy Veldman. You can see how Betsy did it.
Here is my take on that process.
I used a stencil from the Garden Gate stamp and die set.  Watercoloring with some greens and teal and blue.  After drying, I added the sentiment panel for the same set and the flowers from  Vintage Linens.  The base of this card is New Leaf from PTI.

So happy to be back in the swing of doing the challenges.  I love your comments if you care to leave one.  Happy New Year to all!
