After I applied brushos and stamped, I tried Karen Dunbrook's method of pounding on an ef to get sporadic embossing. She uses a mallet...I only have a hammer and it worked sort of...I ended up embossing the lower half to see it better...the pounded part on top is fainter ;) I chose this google image as my inspiration.

Great technique with the partial embossing, and the little echo of the honeycomb stamped on. Love your colors on this. Just a lovely card!

I am going to try this. I love the way it looks! I did a smoosh thing where I inked the lines in the folder with markers, spritzed, and then mashed it with my hands, but I can see that this would work so much better! Thank you.

Oh yummy! I'd love to swim over that mosaic every day. Your card is so beautiful. Love the incorporation of "water" color and the fun incorporation of the hexies! Thanks for playing in this challenge!
