Create a beautiful layered card featuring soft watercoloured flowers with dimensional embossed texture. This elegant design combines pink and grey tones on a textured background, enhanced with white ink details to bring out the delicate floral imagery. The technique involves applying watercolour directly to an embossing folder before running cardstock through to create a unique blended and embossed effect.
Spray a small amount of water onto your craft mat.

Using a paintbrush, apply pink watercolour or ink to the wet embossed panel, working over the raised floral design. Build up the colour gradually, creating a soft blended wash effect across the flowers and background.

Use a white ink pad to gently dab over the embossed areas of your card. This will highlight the raised details and restore definition to the fine embossed patterns.
