I always have fun making my watercolor cards for the Happy Little Stampers challenge. Septembers optional theme is Butterflies (which I love). I used dies from Concord and 9th to cut out the flower and butterfly from white cardstock. I coated them with embossing ink by pressing the pad onto the diecuts. I then heat embossed them with a chunky gold and glitter embossing powder from Wow. For the colorful background I worked with layers of color. I spritzed a piece of watercolor paper with water then sprinkled on turquoise Brusho powder. I moved the color around by tilting the color, taking some away with a paper towel or adding water or more color as needed. When I was happy I used my heat gun to dry the turquoise layer then did the crimson layer. I kept adding color this way until I liked the result. The paper was very warped so I put it under some heavy flat objects overnight. The next day I diecut the watercolored layer with a stitched rectangle die which also helped smooth it out. I adhered a piece of fun foam behind the watercorlored layer for some dimension.
