It is hard to tell from the photo, but I embossed the image with SU! Gold Detail Embossing powder...it really takes this already elegant image up a notch over just black ink. I used watercolor crayons and an aquapen to color in the images. I sponged over the image very lightly with So Saffron to tone down the white. I left if "plain" (i.e. no embellishments) because I really wanted the watercoloring to be the focus.
I hope she likes it!
Happy Mother's Day to all! And a special hug to those who are not able to be their mom today, for whatever reason.

This is beautiful. Thanks for the awesome challenge. This is one of my favourite techniques and you have shown why. Your colouring is just perfect!
