I was inspired by the rich colors and warm tones in this image on our inspiration site here:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/277041814551855295/ (Audrie, your pin was a video, so I went to the card itself for the link - hope that is ok)
First I splattered with masking fluid, then I used the technique that Jill Foster demonstrates on the Penny Black blog; Basically, it involves stamping with the MISTI multiple times, adding ink to different parts of the stamp and spritzing with water before stamping
(some of the times) for the watercolor look. Then, without moving the stamp, you stamp again with versamark and clear embossing powder, and heat set. This preserves the watercolor image and allows you to sponge the bg. Before embossing in clear however, you need to rub off the masking fluid splats that are on the image itself. Then, after sponging the bg, I rubbed off the rest of the splats and stamped the sentiment. Matted and adhered to card front - very happy with how this turned out!!

This is just stunning! Wow! I love all the depth of colors, the glow behind the candle, and all the splatters too. What a wonderful sentiment you used too. This is definitely a frame worthy card! Hugs! ~Karen.
