This is such a hot trend right now, and there are so many different ways to water color. For today's card, I inked up my embossing folder and heavily spritzed it with water. I die cut the MFT Balloons, sponged them and spritzed them too. Yeah, all of a 10 minute card :). Gotta love that! My Happy Birthday is STAMPlorations, Happy.
Feel free to use any water color technique you want, we just want to see water coloring. We hope you play along! See ya over at the AAA Card Challenge.

WOW, this looks great, Vicki!!!! Your watercoloured and embossed bg is beautiful and I love the effect of the spritzing on the sponged balloons as well!! The little black dots on the balloons is so much fun and go so nicely with the black twine. The sentiment is perfect!!! Lovely card!!!
i have this embossing folder too but have never used it this way before - must give it a go!
That's a cool water color BG ! I love the embossed text :)
So creatively done, Vicki! Wonderful use of the cool tones.
I love those colors. Have that folder too- thank you so much for new ideas from such a fun card!
Fabulous card, Vicki !!!
I just saw about this challenge on your blog Vicki... your card is simply terrific... I love this technique.
I can't see a link up on the AAA blog, am I being dense?

I really like the look you achieved here with all the fabulous shades of blue & green! Very pretty! Thanks too for stopping by my blog, much appreciated :)
Watercolouring - hmmm, may have to play along :) Love your fab card - great background!
I tried using the water-colour technique with this folder, and my results were a slop-fest mess! Yours is the complete opposite: eye-catching, lovely and sooooo pretty! I may have to return to the drawing board for one. more. try! Thanks for the inspiration!

I've had good results using the embossing folder watercolor painting - until I used this ef. Mine ended up in the recycle bin. Yours came out beautifully, so I'll try it again. Love the balloons over the top.
I am just loving the water coloring on the embossing folder! Brilliant effect!
