Trying Gradient Watercoloring on Embossed Panels

 Hi, friends! 

Today, I have two cards which are outcome of my experiment of gradient watercoloring on dry embossed panels. 

I wondered how it would look like if I watercolor embossed panel. So I embossed heavy weight watercolor paper using Picnic Floral embossing folder and colored it the same way I shared yesterday, with my Danial Smith paints. So here's the outcome. What do you think of it?

Well.....my concolusion was this experiment was a half success. It surely gave some interesting texture to the panel but there was a big problem that the watercolor paints did not evenly spread on the paper due to irregular surface. As a result, you can see the gradiation borders are not clean and the shades in each color block are not even. If I had not intended clear lines between each color block I would have gotten better results. 

Here's my second card for which I used DS Undersea Green. 

 I loved the deep green color of Undersea Green. But watercoloring was tricker with this ink (I don't know the reason, I might have failed to control water concentration, lols), so I trimmed all the four borders by diecutting it with Antique Frame Die, and gave it a Christmas mood .

I'm in love with how the deep green, gold and white colors go very well together!
