New card making trick

 My friend J. gave me some embossing pens!  I already was embossing with an embossing press, but this is a little different.  Below, the white flowers were pressed using the embossing machine I found at a 2nd hand store.  The hearts were make by cutting them out with white and then colored with the special markers, sprinkled with embossing powder and heated.  It takes a bit of work, but I thought this card turned out cute.  Unfortunately, my Cricut pen was running out of green ink and so I had to make the letters multi-colored. (I should have used my printer!) I try to not let perfection be the enemy of a finished card!


See how the hearts are a bit shiny and raised?  Some marker colors worked better than others.  I also think it has worked better to marker-emboss on white cardstock.
