To create this card I started by heat embossing my tree and sentiment with two different embossing powders. Next I went about coloring with my markers and going back over with a wet brush. I find it helpful to color only a little bit at a time and adding the water as you go. If you let the colored part sit too long then it is harder to get the color to blend. I also recommend using a thicker watercolor cardstock as you will be using lots of water. I just love the colors of trees in the Fall, so that is what inspired me most when I heard the title of this challenge.
I hope to see you play along as it is open to everyone and any products are allowed to be used. If you have a SweetStamps.com image, die, or stencil (they carry these now too!) you will get a second entry, woot woot!
I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Use Watercolors
Happy Crafting!
