GREAT !!!!!!!
You are a genius !!
I used copic markers to color my image. You can watercolor it. Just don't use really light colors. The effect is better when you use brighter colors.

I only used Black Memento Ink for this technique. But you should be able to use Pigment ink also. Just wipe over your embossed image after you added the ink so you clean the ink off from there.
We have lots of things to learn from you! ;o)
Go on still a long time!
(excuse me for my english, very bad...)
