Hi here is 1 of 4 watercolour cards I made recently, I saw the stamping part of this technique somewhere online and was inspired and keen to give it a try while I had my watercolours out. I lightly stamped the Penny Black - Spring Planting (discontinued) with a light coloured distress ink onto some 180 gsm watercolour paper. I painted this one with the Koh-I-Noor - Watercolour/Stackable wheels. Next I dry embossed it with Diamond Trellis embossing folder and heat embossed this with clear embossing powder and wiped over this with a dark brown water based ink and wiped it off with a clean cloth some the residual colour stayed in the crevices. To finish it off I layered the WC image onto Webster's - Petite Papers and for the back panel I dry embossed it with the Jamara embossing folder and embellished it with a button.
