Welcome
I used this technique for a class I took some time ago, having learnt it on Jennifer McGuire's web site.
It is called Water Colour Lifting with heat embossing.
I started by sponging the water colour paper panel with distress inks - Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Tumbled glass from memory - I then stamped a Stampendous stamp, Bandanna Background (appears to be discontinued) , and clear embossed it, before moistening the panel again and removing some of the colour with a paper towel.
That panel was then mounted over a black layer of card that I had scalloped the edge of with a Paper Smooches Borders 2 Die
I stamped the sentiment (from Montarga, a New Zealand Company) onto a black banner shaped snippet, white embossed it, and then mounted it over a layer of washi tape onto the off white base.
The card was finished with some confetti stars.
I am linking this to:
(Twist - use a die cut)
(with splash of bright or neon colour)
(using loose glitter, embossing poweder and/or flock)

Hi Maxine! What a wonderful job in this new technique. I might have to give it a try too. We are blessed that you linked with our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday and inviting you to join us again in our current challenge. Leaving you with the encouragement from God's Word in Romans 15:5-6 which tells us, "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Blessings,
JO ANN
