I really enjoy this technique and went a little wild when I started to do it! I am sure I used almost every embossing folder I possessed! I really love the colour combinations I got and was pleased with the outcome. Sort of looks like a watercoloured picture. I also tried it on the envelope but found the water made it wrinkle so I just ironed it. My iron has migrated from the laundry room to my craft room because I don't use it on anything but crafts! Thank heavens for permanent press!! LOL Here is the great tutorial from Audrie. Embossing Folder Stamping Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers She makes it look so easy. The folders were from Cuttlebug and Darice and the sentiment die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Your work with watercolor is truly beautiful, Sue. LOVE LOVE the bg you created and how you combined your colors...especially the taupe tones when the pink and green mixed.

You've made a beautiful card with this fun technique! I'll be playing with it later today! I love the colors you used and the swiss dots EF is a wonderful band with your dotted paper!
