Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Embossed Watercolor. The techique is very easy. Heat Emboss an "open image." Next, use water colors, or water color crayons to color in the image.
The first image that came to mind when I read this challenge was this BEAUTIFUL Siberian Iris from Flourishes! I love this image!
I stamped the image in VersaMark, and heat embossed with Gold. Next, I colored the image with Water Color crayons and used a water color brush and a bowl of water to "paint" the colors. This really helped to blend the colors!
The background (Damask from Flourishes), was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in gold.
I added dots with a marker.
I dragged the edges through the VersaMark pad of the Whisper White layer and the sentiment and embossed in gold.
