Embossing with Water!! (Looks like wee little raindrops!)

Did you know you could emboss with water? And it looks like droplets of rain!

All you do is:

1) Watercolour your image, and
2) While it's good and wet add lots of embossing powder.
3) Heat it (but don't overheat) :0)

It's neat to watch the organic looking process of embossing it with the heatgun, because some of the embossing powder seems to randomly evaporate & it leaves a natural-looking mottled embossing. You can go in a second time and add more water and powder if you want more. It looks better in person, but you can make out the droplets here (click the pic for a closer look):

The Back flower is what it looks like when you use less water (less droplet-like); the front flower is what it looks like when you use lots of water (to get those drops just be sure not to overheat it) :0)
