I saw a card in my travels through blog land that got me started on this idea but I cant remember where. Thats the problem with so many blogs to visit.
Cant remember if its one of my favourite blogs or a card in a challenge but anyway thanks to someone else inspiration brought me this card.
I silver embossed the background on to Tim Holtz Watercolour paper then randomly added colours. I used four different colours and just added them here and there. I did have one spill through that you can see where the purple has gone into the pink.
I did tidy it up a bit but it you look closely you will see the silver embossing didnt take in a small bit of the line and thats why the watercolour kept running into the other.
Okay so when I felt there was enough colour added I added a 'Best Wishes' sentiment cut from silver mirror card and felt that was enough. I really like it.
I have gone without the topping for this one.
Thanks for coming to visit and I hope you come again soon.

Oh Aileen, this is just gorgeous!!! I've always loved the look of embossed background stamps and water colors, and for the life of me, I can't see where you say the colors are running?? Love this card, I only have like 3 background stamps, sheeesh!! I love this one you used, all those little petals really hold the color beautifully.
Thank you for sharing.

This is very pretty. I love the silver embossing around the bright colours. Really gives the colouring some bling. No one notices the little mistakes - not really mistakes at all! - I think they just add to the character and that they are proving they really are hand made. Xx
