   Watercolor 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

   Marina Mist

   Pacific Point

   Night of Navy

   Adhesive

First, I brushed my watercolor paper with the embossing buddy. 

I then stamped my pine tree using White Craft Ink. I applied some white embossing powder and then heat set it.

Once it was cooled, I applied my blues beginning from the top down to the bottom. Marina Mist first, followed by Pacific Point and then Night of Navy at the bottom. If the color gets too dark, just add some more water. 

After the panel was dried, I gently rubbed the pine tree to remove any color from the embossing. This is known as an emboss-resist technique.

I added a rub-on sentiment from my stash and then adhered the panel to a Whisper White panel and then onto the Marina Mist card front. The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
