I was not a fan of this Embossing Folder when I first saw it in the Mini catty however it only takes one card on Pinterest made with it and then it's very quickly added to the list! I just thought it was going to be too busy, turns out I was wrong.
I was eager to try colouring this folder as it gives the raised emboss image real dmiension and depth.
I thought the technique was relatively simple however I learned something.

First thing I learned is that if you want this look, its best to emboss on dark coloured card stock. We tried a pastel colour to begin with and it didn't have the depth.
Now normally I thought you would simply apply the ink straight to the correct side of the folder and then pop in the cardstock and run through the machine. It didn't work. I don't know why, it gave me a headache trying to work it out. So instead we applied the white ink on the embossed image after it had been through the machine, with a blending brush and just lightly, enough to cover the raised images. This gave me the effect I desired.
Now I'm relieved I added that folder to my collection.
I'm really happy with this one and I can't wait to send out out to someone.
