Addicted to Stamps & More #448 - Birthday

It's time for our birthday challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More. 

To make this card I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a black panel and a panel of watercolor paper.

Using distress reinkers as watercolor I laid down color randomly on the panel of watercolor paper and thoroughly dried it. Next I ran it through the machine using a 3D embossing folder adding grey to the debossed side before I ran it through. The next step took a little time. Using a sharpie I colored all the areas that were not embossed (later learned that if you use black ink instead of gray in the previous step it doesn't take as long). The last step is to rub embossing ink with a light hand over the raised area and then use gold embossing powder.

To finish the card i added a die cut greeting.
