I had SO much fun making this. I used a marker to colour the top side of the stencil getting right in the edges of the flowers and well as I could, then I spritzed the stencil with water and turned it over onto my cardstock to make an impression.

I do this with my embossing folders and with ink pads all the time, and get that similar effect. I just love this technique. I will have to try it with stencils. This is gorgeous. Into my favorites.

Beautiful work with that stencil and markers, Jo. You created such a pretty card from that inspiration piece. The butterflies are lovely and I am just waiting to see some in my yard.
