This is for the second Mix-Ability challenge, to combine heat embossing and a coloring medium.
I used shimmering watercolors in various shades after embossing white ep on matte gold cs. I had to photograph the card laying flat in order to capture the colors.
I cut the MFT flourish from shimmer white cs and layered it on shiny gold to create an embellishment with the negative. After attaching the focal piece, I offset the die cut back onto the negative space. I added the Elizabeth Craft Designs butterflies, which are white very slightly offset on gold.
I love this Inkadinkado Floral Woodcut stamp, and the image heat embosses beautifully. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
As always, thanks for looking!

Wow! I love, love, love this! I love the embossed images and the shimmering watercolours are gorgeous. I love that beautiful flourish treatment too. I am going to try that in the future.
