I stamped the images in black Stazon ink onto watercolor paper, then used an Aqua Painter to watercolor the images. I used the embossing die from the Pretty Park Framelits Dies to emboss – or actually deboss – the stones on the kitchen floor, and I cut the sentiment using the Lakeside Framelits Dies.
Here’s what I made:
