I've actually tried to watercolor an embossed image twice. This is my second attempt. My first attempt took me hours but I am still not sure I liked that. For that one, I stamped an image repeatedly to create my own background. Because the motif has a lot of open space, I colored each one in a different color, so it did take me forever. This one came from a favorite background stamp of mine - lattice background. Because each opening is of the same size, so coloring each space is not as time consuming. I finished it by adding a banner and a die-cut, where the word Birthday is also colored in the same manner.
Even though it took me quite a while to finish coloring, I think it is well worth it. Of course I am very happy to find one extra way to use my distress markers!
