Watercolor background with stencil

I'm sharing a card using a technique learned in Online Card Classes - Watercolor for Cardmakers Day 1.  Interestingly it is the first technique shown in the class but I couldn't get it right after I have got all others done.

I've tried different stencils, watercolor media and watercolor paper and I'm afraid out of the many attempts this is the only acceptable one:



Once I got it right, I felt bad to do anything with it as I don't want to ruin it or cover it up.  So I put a simple die cut in black to turn it into a thank you card. 

I'm linking up my card to:
Crafting when we can - die cuts
ABC Challenges - keep it simple
Dies R Us - Anything Goes
Challenge Party - Dies and/or Punches

Thanks for stopping by!
