Pretty Colors & Mushrooms!
Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is the photo below:
I actually stuck with the colors in the photo and the mushroom theme:
I made my own colored embossing by first inking the image with VersaMark Ink, followed by the colored ink. The VersaMark keeps the colored ink wet longer, so embossing powder will adhere to it. See how pretty the colored embossing is?
