I saw mindy eggan do this technique and just had to try it . I dry embossed the design onto watercolor paper and using the coloring stencils that match the 3d embossing folder I taped my paper to a board and wet it with a spray bottle then did light watercolor all over the image then using the stencils once more I ink blended over the watercolor with colors that I had chosen that matched it pretty good. I then decided to cut 3 circles out using dies and then used foam tape to elevate the circles for the eclipse look. I then did some black splatter all over and stamped my sentiement in black to bring it all together. I loved doing this technique it was so fun and easier than you might think. I am not good at all with watercolor but I think this turned out beautifully.
