Cuttlebug meets Promarkers


This week the challenge from the Bah Humbug team is 'Embossing'. I've used a Cuttlebug holly embossing folder and coloured the raised areas with Promarkers. Then sprayed the whole lot with irridescent glitter spray. The sentiment is computer generated and was cut with a nestie ovals die. That's about it really.
Thanks very much for visiting.

What a classy card - love the way you've coloured the embossing - very professional. You might like to also enter it into my CHNC challenge 10 which this week is also asking for the use of embossing - and there's a random prize this week x

Great card Beryl, I've never managed to get my colouring right with this technique, you have got it spot on.

Wow! Stunning! Would of never have thought of using ProMarkers to colour 'raised' areas. Love the embossing folder. I own a few embossing folders but I don't ever recall seeing this stunning holly one on any of my shopping travels, just lovely.

This is really refreshing. So simple and effective. I love the way you ahven't been tempted to complicate it and the white space really allows the holly to pop.
Lovely to see you back. Sounds like you had a lovely time with all those grandchildren!

Beryl,

Your holly card is lovely and CAS. I had not thought to color the raised areas from one of the CB folders. I will need to try that sometime.

Love and blessings, Martha
