Fun technique. Embossing the image actually makes it a bit easier to 'stay in the lines' watercoloring. Dots around the outside are of course, inspired by Markie's Mom. I'm having fun doing those, I think some cards just feel more 'finished' with them. I used some twinkling H20s on the top side of the umbrella to make it shimmer because after all, it is wet, its raining! And the duck and her boots and hat have a layer of Crystal Effects, remember shiny rainboots and hats from when you were a kid? That was part of the fun of being in the rain! Thanks for looking.
