Supplies: water color paper AquaPainter Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder Versamark Black Embossing Powder Heat Gun Stamp Set: Angelic Joy Baroque Motifs Colors: Night of Navy Bermuda Bay Blush Blossom Chocolate Chip

The swirls from the Baroque Motifs  stamp set were stamped twice with Versamark.  We sprinkled on the Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heat set it.  The angel was embossed in black on watercolor paper.  We had to emboss it because we were doing water color and the black ink is water soluble.  We picked up the color from directly from the ink pad using the Aqua Painter.  You can also use markers to color an outline and then use the AquaPainter to spread the color.  In fact we had to use the marker for the Blush Blossom color on the Angel's face.  Stampin'Up! retired the Blush Blossom Ink pad but still carries the marker.  These colors are lovely as a Christmas Card or as a Sympathy card.
