Embossing Wet or Dry

Hello again, after a restful weekend, it is time to start getting
busy making some cards.
Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday
which was chosen by Meg - Embossing Wet or Dry.
So it's time to either get out your embossing folders or your
embossing powders. Or even a combination of both.
Why don't you pop over to see the inspiration from the DT?
I watercoloured onto my card with shades of blue and green.
Dried it and stamped with Versafine Black ink  -Funky Flowers
 and a Happy verse by Cafty Roo stamps,  sprinkled with
fine clear embossing powder, heat set.
I painted the flower with Sparkle glitter pens.
I matted onto black card with a trip of hessian, 3 brads,
with cord wrapped around the brads. Have fun.
