Thanks for the fun challenge, Beth! It's really easier to watercolor with the image embossed!
Today's TLC challenge was to emboss the image and to use watercolors. The main image was stamped using versa-mark and then embossed using black ep and heat tool. I then colored using su watercolor crayons. The popped up flowers were done using same tech. The background was stamped using su linen inked with Papertrey lovely berry sorbet.
This is also for a Double Dare Challenge I do each week with some of my SCS friends. This one was suggested by Charlene (LiLuvsStampin).
1. Pick a card in your gallery that is a WHAT WAS I THINKING when I made this card!
2. Change two or more things to make it look better in YOUR eyes.
3. Keep basic sketch
4. Use one color you rarely use

Perfect embossing, perfect coloring and perfect card. I love how you cut everything out so beautifully and layered them upon that wonderfully soft dp! Superlative!
