This is my card for today's challenge. I love this technique, it's my first time trying but is certainly won't be the last.
For my main image I used a Penny Black stamp called Enchanting Orchid order number607K.
I didn't have any Kraft ink so I thought I would try embossing in white EP and it worked perfectly.
I used prisma color pencils and Goo Gone.
For the colors I chose to use Basic Black, Almost Amythist, Lovely Lilac and WW.
For the small border at the bottom I cb'ed a border and highlited parts with a white Sakura gel pen. To finish I added some cute button brads.
I really like how this card turned out.
Tell me what you think?

Oh Nicky, what a work of art this one is! I'm overwhelmed with it's beauty! You need to frame this one for sure. It's worthy of having the whole world appreciate it. It's simply fabulous.

I think your card is absolutely gorgeous! I think embossing powder probanbly works better than craft ink (no real dry time or worrying about smudging the ink when coloring). When I made my card I didn't have gamsol or goo gone but oops I goofed (I'm sure a similar product) worked fine with pure color pencils. I think I'm going to have to purchase more watercolor stamps!
