This is my first entry for this week's Alphabet challenge to use the letters O & W. My O is the first word in the sentiment and the W is watercolor. It is also for the first Watercolor Wednesday challenge to try watercolor look ink smooshing - though a month late!
I did ink smooshing with the four colors of distress ink listed above (using one color at a time and sometimes drying in between). After getting the panel to what I liked, I heat embossed the three feathers on it. Then I began to think I got carried away with the ink smooshing so I created another panel and then finished both into cards.
I smooshed some more ink on my acetate sheet and painted the color directly into the feathers to intensify their color just a bit. I heat embossed the sentiment and popped it up. After much playing around, I added the sequins and called it done.
Thanks for the challenges!

This is just gorgeous with those awesome colors and I love the feathers. The gold embossing adds so much to the feathers. You're never too late for a challenge. So glad you played along.

This is just stunning Catherine. I adore this fabulous background you created in such fantastic colors. And what a great way to highlight this embossed feathers by too. I really love feathers and these are extra special with the gold embossing and the extra ink you added too. This is such a WOW card for the OW challenge. ~Karen.
