Georgiana asked us to pick an embossing technique and share a tip, trick or technique.
I decided to do dry embossing with highlighting of chalk. The supplies you will need are a Cuttlebug machine, Embossing Folder, CardStock, and chalk.
Preserves Folder
Pebbles Chalk
Select the colors you like and run the chalk along the embossed paper:
Keep Going!
Finished!
Now you can add some bling! I used Stickles and Liquid Pearls:
Now you have a great embossed and colorful background! I hope you will give this chalking technique a try!
