This technique creates an dramatic card. The intensity of the color is achieved by letting each color dry and then adding additional color to layer until you get the depth of the color you desire. This card was cased from Cathy Somody.
1. On watercolor paper, stamp the images in Versamark and sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Heat to set with a heat tool. Hair dryers do not work to heat set embossing.
Tip: Old embossing powder will not adhere well or give good results. Also it takes a little longer to heat set on watercolor paper. Heat images until they are shiny for best results.
2. Use an aqua painter which is a brush-tipped pen with water inside. To add water just squeeze the pen. To dry off the tip you can touch or wipe the tip on a paper towel.
3. Add 1-2 drops of refill ink to a palette with wells. Squeeze a drop or two of water into the well to dilute the ink. Using the brush tip, dip it in the ink and spread the ink over the images. Let dry and then add more to layer intensity of the color. To change colors, wipe the tip of the aqua painer on the paper towel until clear. Then pick up next color. Do not overlap colors unless area is dry or the colors will muddle. Allow to dry well before adhering to the card. You can dry with a heat tool if needed.
