I saw this watercolor technique on the Carol Duval Show: You load up your stamp with different inks, spray it lightly with water and stamp it on watercolor stock. Use your heat embossing gun immediately on each stamp so that the water doesn't soak into the paper; then repeat process for each image. To get a paler image, don't re-ink stamp...just lightly spritz with water again.
