Having fun with the (click link to see video). Started by heat embossing a background stamp in white. Cut my panel down to size.
I used Distress inks (spiced marmalade, fired brick and wilted violet) to splash over the embossing. I added lots of layers, drying in-between and was careful to keep the purple and orange inks from blending too much as that combo turns to a muddy brown.)
Added a simple white die-cut butterfly and stamped sentiment to finish.
Thanks to Karen for using my video as inspiration for the TLC challenge this week!!
I am running a mini challenge on my blog for any cards using the Splash Watercolour technique. Hope you'll come join in.

Loll, I love that stamp and missed on my last Unity purchase:(
You have made such a stunning background with your great splash technique and the white embossed Dream stamp. Awesome card

That’s the prettiest splashing I ever did see, Loll. LOVE this - even more of a compliment given that these are so not colors I would gravitate toward - but you make them sing!!

Your video was so helpful in doing this technique and I love what you have done with it on this card.

So beautiful - crisp and clean! The white embossing looks fantastic paired with the splashing colours! I will have to try that because I will certainly be doing the splash watercolour technique again! Thanks so much for the video!

Love this splash watercoloring with the white embossed "dream" stamped and popped. Love your color palette, love white butterfly (so perfect with the white background) and the sentiment placement!
