Good morning, Kelly here to share an embossed watercolor resist card.  I stamped the floral Hero Arts background stamp (this stamp is retired this technique would work well with other current Hero Arts stamps such as the Tropical Foliage Bold Prints) with Versamark Ink and embossed with Wow “Fairy Tale” Powder on watercolor paper.  The Wow “Fairy Tale” embossing powder is a pretty soft gold with iridescent glitter.  I then used wet on wet watercolor to create the background.  For the wet on wet technique paint over the embossed piece with clean water then dab on the water-color, I tilted the paper around to help move the color.  Once the watercoloring was dry I splattered on some more color then used a stencil brush to add some Hero Arts Navy ink around the edges.  I embossed the Thank You sentiment, from the Hero Arts   set “Thank You Messages”, on velum and attached it to watercolored piece by folding the ends of the velum to the back and adhering with regular tape.   I embossed the edges of a piece of cardstock by rubbing my Versamark pad direct to paper on the edge of a piece of cardstock and embossed it with the same Wow embossing powder to create a shiny layer.  Once my card was adhered together I added some iridescent sequins from Studio Katia to embelish the card.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoy your weekend and please come back Monday to see inspiration from the Design Team for our August challenge.
