This is another BG I made for my first Altenew Challenge card. This idea came roughly to my mind to make another card for the challenge. This one is quite a bit brighter! ;) Which is ok for today, cuz it is rainy here. I've had a card pinned from Ardyth for a long time and decided to use her technique for my card.

I embossed all of my outlined images in gold. Next I inked up one of the shadow stamps, but spritzed it with water first before stamping.
For the BG I lightly spritzed my watercolor paper and added a small amount of the Colorburst. I was going for a really light look, so I sprayed it again and kept mopping up ink with a paper towel until it was the lightness I wanted.

Oh, Michelle, you are making such gorgeous cards with these Altenew stamps! I love the orange and blue together. . .one of my favorite combos. Hey, I think this card would qualify for the Sunday Stamps color challenge that's going on right now if you want to submit it there too! SSC185

This is truly lovely - the gold emboss is flat-out gorgeous with the colors spritzed that way - such a cool watercolor effect! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
