I also tried a few techniques showcased this week on SCS:
MIX69 - Faux Tile
TLC482 - Using Embossing Folders to stamp
Mix 69 is all about the faux tile technique. At first, I found that blue painter's tape damaged my watercolor paper. Not having any other types of tape, I decided to use an ef to make lines. I covered the ef in Versamark, and then I used SU! white ep.
TLC482 was to use an ef as your stamp - I used a CB folder as my stamp before I embossed the paper with another ef.
I also used a water color wash on my die cut before removing it from the SB die (a good way to use up the extra watercolor paint), and added some frantage to add more interest to my base panel.
Fun, fun, fun! Who knew I could have so much fun with a $9 watercolor set and my old efs!
Congrats Peggy! I have been a true admirer of your work for a long time and love your very sweet and meaningful gallery comments. Enjoy today! Hugz!

Doing the faux tile and then doing a watercolor wash AND then your EF really gave this a 'magical' look, Nancy - You never cease to amaze me with the things you mix together to get these
