Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I have a lovely no-line watercolour Lily card today and I've used a Gina K Amalgam ink which is perfect for this technique.

Well, I was waiting patiently for the Altenew Embossing Paste to arrive at Bumbleberry's and soon as it did, it went in my basket! I couldn't wait to try it out and whats more thought the Liquid watercolours from Pink Fresh Studios would be a quick way to colour the paste. This created fun textured backgrounds without a lot of bulk as this paste is lovely and smooth and can go on very thinly if you wish.  Textured backgrounds- written tutorial and photos: To start off,...
