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.
