Ok, I had to adapt this challenge a little....I do not actually have any acetate, so instead I used the inside of a clear stamp box.
I also changed the order of this from the tutorial. I actually stamped my image first, watercolored using the blender pens, and then clear embossed the entire image so that I could have a more clear image showing through the background.
Since I used all In Colors, I originally used reinkers and then dipped the blender pens in the ink. My first try I didn't quite get enough color, so I merely dipped my fingers into the reinker drops and smeared it around onto the already sprayed with water area. I think my biggest problem was my light choice in colors.
However, I love how this turned out in the end! I am really trying to use up those in colors! It's going to take a while, I have a ton!
Thanks for a fun new challenge, Cav!

Gorgeous card. Your choice of colors are really wonderful. And thanks for telling us how you adapted the tutorial--that's the best thing about the demo challenges.

Great colors, Amy. I love how the pink looks.
My general idea of the technique is expanding. Thanks for the details!
