Mother's Day Bouquet Resist

Here's a little Mother's Day Bouquet using clear embossing powder.

1. Rub anti static bag over water color paper. Ink up image with VersaMark  ink pad, stamp onto watercolor paper, sprinkle with embossing powder and heat set.
2. To get your water color pallet, turn ink pads over and press them onto non-stick craft sheet side by side, not overlapping. If you do not have a craft sheet, you can press the ink pads  onto a piece of plastic or spare acrylic block.
3. Pick up color with the water brush and apply over flowers. The embossed image will act as a resist and the color will fill in around the image. I didn't worry about being precise - I wanted the colors to flow and mix. NOTE: your water brush should be moist, not dripping.
4. Dab excess color off onto a paper towel in between colors.
5. Allow ink to dry.
6. Cut oval around bouquet. Leave the die cut around the image. Spread clear water all around the image. Pick up some blue and fill in color. I picked up other colors from the flowers along the way. I like that look!
7. Adhere layers and ribbon. The yellow layer is the other side of the Club Scrap design card stock.
8. Ink up bouquet image with old olive ink and stamp partial image into the corner of  a piece of A2 size vanilla card stock.  Ink up sentiment and stamp near the top.  Trim 1/4" off top and one side. Adhere to the inside of the card.
