This image for the front of the greeting card was made using wax paper for the background. Keep scrolling down for step by step instructions. Choose your embossing folder and trim wax paper to fit inside. The wax paper should then have the embossing image. Place between 2 pieces of card (that can take some water), then iron so the was image is transferred to the card. Use watercolours to paint the background. In this instance I used watercolour markers, scribbled onto my glass mat, spritzed with water then painted on. You can also use water-based ink pads and watercolour paints. Cut out the elements you want in your picture. These might be from themed papers or using dies. Below is an example of a different non-water themed image using the same technique.

I am available to do make & takes for events (e.g. children's birthday parties, WI meetings) and I also sell my PURRR products at local fairs. Archives
