Coloring Dry Embossing Starting 1/7/15

I used the swiss dots folder and studio g ink
The flower is from a self liner....

Oh, very nicely done, Terrie! I like the soft pink and white.

Golda, all your sample cards are great.
Marilyn, love the color scheme on yours.
Terri, your creation has a fun vintage grunge feel to it. And the rich looking flower with a bit o' bling is the perfect focal point!

Terrie, love the variegated look to your card. It looks very vintage.

Golda, I can emboss till the cows come home! I still can't post though. :oops:

This is getting very old! The repair guy says he hasn't given up though, so I'm not going to go buy a new one till he cries uncle.

Nicely done Terrie! Love the color and the swiss dot folder is still one of my favorites!

Elaine, you are much more patient than I am. That computer would have had a bit of sledge-hammer therapy by now if it lived in my house! Hope you get it fixed, or get a new one, and SOON!

Elaine, just try coloring one of your embossed pieces this way and see how you like it. You can always post later, as this is a never-ending challenge. Or, you can decide you don't like the way it turns out and know this is a technique you'll never use.

You're too cute Golda!

The hardest problem with this challenge is choosing which embossing folder to use! Once I got started it was hard to stop, but here are the 2 that I completely finished...I have 6 more that need finishing touches!

These were rubbed with a ink pad.

This one I colored using metallic gel pens. Sorry the color didn't show up correctly...the matting is really a bright spring green and the dragonfly body is a bright shiny green not an olive color!

Great looking cards Trudi...they both style turned out really nice
well done
