Lovely watercolored trees

Photo Details

Poster: debhorst

Today's challenge was to use watercolor along with embossing--here is my creation.

I embossed my trees using a SU Choc. Chip craft pad and clear embossing powder. Both the sky and the land are done with watercolor pencils and the aqua painter.

I finished off my card by adding eyelets and piercing around the stamped panel.

Let me know what you think!!

Beautifully done! The embossed trees really stand out against your watercoloring! The paper piercing is a perfect finishing touch!!! Fantastic!

Very nice; a little different than most of the other cards where they actual image is being colored, here it's your background.
