Color embossing

I am sharing today what my challenge for our group was, I wanted everyone to color their dry embossed images from a folder with either markers, pencils or watercolor.  Here are a couple I did. The first is an embossing using black paper and metallic markers.


I needed some thank you's and decided to give this a try once again. I cut the sentiment from some copper paper to match the metallics in the coloring.

Recollections - Embossing folder, colored w/Spectrum Metallic markers, Gold Nugget, Gold Plate, Green Citrine and Blue Topaz
Crafters Companion - Thank you die

The next one is for my sister who just had hip surgery yesterday, she came through the surgery ok and I haven't heard back how she is feeling today yet, I would appreciate any prayers for a quick recovery for her, the last time she had her hip done she had a few complications so hoping this time will go more smoothly for her.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

I love how these came out! The first one is just incredibly gorgeous with that amazing embossing folder. The second card doesn't even look like embossing; it looks like die cuts. Amazing! I hope your sister will have a quick and uncomplicated recovery.
