This week the color challenge colors are real red, delightful daffodil and old olive. I have been taking the Online Card Class Watercolor for Card Makers and used one of the techniques I learned (watercoloring on embossed backgrounds) using the colors. I used distress ink markers (squeezed lemonade, barn door and crushed olive) to color the tiles. The "button" was made using PTI button stack dies layered together and covered with glossy accents. The embossing is white, but it is hard to see.

Rosemary, this is such a great card with it's clean design and great balance of color. I am not familiar with this watercolors class but I surely do want to know about it. I love watercolors and find it the hardest to achieve. Love what you have done!!
