Coloring Embossed Sentiments

July 4, 2020 by Heather Holbrook

Coloring Embossed Sentiments

If you’re new to coloring stamped images Cathy has a great tip. If you heat emboss your stamps it gives you a little raised “edge” that helps hold in the color so you don’t color outside the lines. She used large sentiments for her cards, embossing them in black and used Distress Inks to watercolor them in. I love hoe bright and colorful they are!

Visit her blog CZ Designs for a tutorial.
