This card is for two challenges; the CAS water theme and the TLC using an embossing folder as a stamp. I inked up my Darice woodgrain EF with Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point using sponges and lightly sprayed with water. I then laid a piece of water colour paper over it and let it absorb the inks. I only used a bit of the resulting pattern for my card. I was trying to illustrate the ripples around the bird as it stood in the water. I masked the goose to get the vegetation stamped behind. I really like this EF technique but need to get some EF's more suited to it. Oh boy, shopping trip coming! :-)

Great take on the challenge. I love using woodgrain for water - I've used both a stamp and a texture plate. It works very well with your lovely Wetlands goose.
