Stampin' Up! Watercolor Best is Yet to Come Card with Embossing and Ironing

In this card, I use the "smooshing" watercolor background technique, emboss resist stamping using the Stampin' Up! Best Thoughts Hostess Set, and Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Then I remove the embossing medium using a common household iron to reveal the matte, watercolor cardstock. I first learned about this technique from Amy R's blog, Prairie Paper and Ink: • Removing Heat-Set Embossing Powder with an Iron  ——  http://goo.gl/wce36Z
