Make It Monday Watercoloring Embossed Images


by Heather


I hope you are all doing well and finding the many blessings in your life. Sometimes it may seem as thought they are hiding. But I know they are there!
 I was going to use a flower stamp for this weeks MIM but saw this   Foxy  guy my desk and decided to use him. Maybe not the best for this technique but I wanted to use him anyway.  I heat embossed the polka dots and the fox and watercolored them both in.  I stamped the dots in clear on white paper. Not perfect stamping or coloring but it will work!  My ribbon is from William Sonoma. They gift wrap anything so I always just ask for the ribbon even if I don't want it wrapped. Now the girls just know to put in my bag. 
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I do appreciate it!

  4. Ohhhh you clever little mind reader! I was thinking of using this little fella for the MIM challenge last night! Never got around to it then or now LOL! He's just so darn cute and I haven't used him yet! Your card is simply delightful and I think it totally works with the water coloring. And then look at you again being all clever with snagging that ribbon...must remember that LOL!!!

  7. This is just darling. I can tell from the shading that the cute fox is water colored. Great tip about free ribbon, too. I'll need to remember that one.

  21. Oh I really, REALLY love this card!!! The colors I think are what speak to me, and your watercolored and polka-dotted hills. Gorgeous!! I have a large collection of packaging ribbon too. But how awesome you don't have to go through the motions of gift wrapping, and they just GIVE it to you!
