I wanted to do a special masculine card for a sailing enthusiast. The lower half is dry embossed with cuttlebug folder and the flat side was inked with caramel prior to running it through the cuttlebug.
Image is watercolored and clouds masked/sponged.
Thanks for looking!

What a beautiful job you've done. I checked out your blog and appreciate seeing how you achieved the great results (and without copics!) I love to watercolor too, but I'm nowhere as good as this... thanks for sharing and inspiring.

I still don't know how you do that, inking the flat side of the CB folder, I tried it and it did not turn out like yours. Your BG is terrific. Fantastic coloring, as always, and I love your cloud tutorial on your blog. Very helpful.
