Hi everyone! Welcome back to another challenge over at
Today's challenge is EMBOSSING wet or dry, you choose!
For my project I chose to emboss my image and then watercolor it in. I love this technique! It gives me a cleaner look and the embossing helps keep the watercolor from spreading where I don't want it.
First, I embossed the main image in clear embossing ink and then used platinum embossing power to give a little shine to te image.
I started the coloring by adding a bit of clean water with my brush to the flower or leaf I was going to paint first. I then picked up some of the chosen color and added it ever so lightly to the image I was painting. Wetting the image first helps the paint move and gives a more organic look to the flower.
I finished by drying my image a bit and then adding my sentiment to another strip of white cardstock and adhering it down with dimensional strips.
I'm entering in the following challenges:

Your card is so pretty. I saw it on a challenge blog and came by to compliment you. What a good idea to paint with water first - really makes it looks so natural.
