I used black watercolor paper and a SSS embossing folder, then coloured the embossed panel with metallic watercolor paints. The bird was coloured with Sharpies

Truly GORGEOUS, Sabrina! Took patience and a steady hand to watercolor all those raised portions of the embossing! The little bird is a lovely addition.

Sabrina, your colour and dimension on this beauty are amazing! The foliage looks like stacked die cuts!! I thought your berries were some sort of dots from a squeeze bottle. You have worked wonders with your metallic watercolours. My eyes are dazzled! I love the addition of the sweet bird in the foreground. Thanks for issuing such a thoughtful challenge.
