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.
