Have you tried salt? It may not be as smooth as you would like but it would definitely raise the image.

Also, maybe try mixing the watercolors with a texture paste? Those will harden and stay. The nature of watercolors really prohibits them being wetted multiple times without them scooting around all over but if you mix the colors themselves with something that will form the image you're looking for, you have a better shot of getting the image you desire.
