More Hexagon Background

I wanted to color this Hexagon Background again.  The last time I used Copics, but this time I thought I would watercolor it.

First, I heat embossed the background on a panel of watercolor paper using white embossing powder.

Then I started by painting the large sections alternating between a teal green and a blue.  When watercoloring, I first saturated the sections with water, and then dropped the color in.  For these larger sections, I kept the color more watered down, and let the paint kind move about on it's own so there are greater variations of color within the sections.

For the smaller areas, I used the same paint colors, and the same technique of adding water first, but added really saturated color.  I also moved the color around so that it was more even within those spaces.

I love how the background turned out and of course wanted to cover up as little of it as possible, so I chose a sentiment from the All About You set, added a simple mat, a few sequins, and that was it.

Hope you like it!
