I used what I call the quick and easy method to water coloring flowers. I watercolor a background first, then stamp the images with Versamark one at a time and emboss. When I am done embossing them all, then I cut them out.
I like this method because you can pick and choose where you want the images on the background. You can see I chose a darker/bluer spot for one flower and lighter/with greens for the other two.
I put score lines in my flowers and behind them to incorporate the icing lines of the cake.
