Colouring dry-embossed images

A friend from Docrafts sent me some dry-embossed Christmas images on coloured pearlescent card. I turned them into Christmas cards by colouring with distress markers and a water brush, adding a stamped sentiment, and matting onto the front of card blanks.

 


The "Let it Snow" sentiment is from a Justrite stamp set I bought last year.

 

The "Magical" sentiment is from a mag freebie set of stamps.

    Some times it is a litle difficult to find new words to say about your cards. They are always so fine and with so many effects.

    Still in enforced c&p mode I'm afraid, but still enjoy taking a look at your latest creation.

    Hope you have a good weekend.

    This is wonderful idea, Maddy. Your card are beautiful! I have some strange embossing folders which I thought are usless. With this technique, maybe I can even use them. Thank you!
