Amy Sheffer is the host for this week's technique, Make It Monday #246: Faux Brush Lettering, where she shows us how to create the look of watercolored brush lettering on sentiments.
I don't have a lot of large sentiments, so picked "sending" from Wet Paint III. On white cardstock, I stamped the word in Aqua Mist ink and using a very fine brush, applied Tropical Teal ink to the bottom of the word to create the brushed look. I stamped "big hugs" in black ink.
Next, I used my new Color Pop Butterflies stencils to create my design, and will admit, I followed the layout from one of the patterned pieces included in the set. The butterflies are stenciled in Aqua Mist and Tropical Teal inks with black centers, the flowers in Berry Sorbet and Pure Poppy inks and the leaves in Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse inks.
The panel is adhered to a Tropical Teal cardstock card base leaving a bit of the card base showing at the bottom. A few clear sequins completed the card.

You did a fantastic job with this technique, Lainey! Love the contrast between the Aqua Mist & Tropical Teal ink colours, and it's a beautiful combination with the Berry/Poppy 'pop' of colour. A gorgeous 1-layer creation!
