I really wanted to water color this because I am in water color mode. I couldn't make white embossing work. It's the very same method I used on the Stampendous Cupcake in a Tea Cup card, but this time, even using a painted background, I couldn't get it to look good. Instead I stamped in Tuxedo black, by Memento, and colored with the discontinued blendabilities. They don't offer much color gradation and they dry out. Wouldn't you know it, I bought all of them. Anyway, I like the stark contrast on this card and the image is so appropriate for Mother's Day, birthdays, sympathy cards, etc. I might try black embossing because I'd get the petal definition which is important in this image and I'd be able to take advantage of the water dams that make color blending so easy.
