Beautiful You watercolor

Beautiful you watercolor

I am not one who colors. I don't consider myself someone who does watercoloring well. Because of this, I'm delighted with the way this card turned out! I used Stampin' Up!'s watercolor paper, an Aquapainter, and ink pads. I decided to emboss the image with black embossing powder, because I'm an instant gratification kind of girl. I was impatient with the black inks smudging (because I didn't wait long enough or because I didn't think to heat set them). It was the perfect solution. After stamping & heat embossing the images, I ran the paper through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder. It gives some texture and the suggestion of falling rain. Perfect!
