Everyone seems to be demonstrating this technique at the moment, but I'm not that rapt with it.
I put the dampened paper through the Big Shot to emboss the 3D pattern. Then I flipped it over and with my finger daubers I added dye inks to all the flowers. Lastly I dragged a dark navy ink pad over the whole thing to darken the raised parts of the pattern. Even though I used no pressure, I inevitably got navy ink drag marks in too many places. Meh. You really need more flat areas and deeper patterns to make this look good, but that's all I have.
I used some leavings from my die-cuts to surround the strip of words, and stuck some leaves on to give the eye a place to rest!
