In our previous post, you saw Jill's amazing cards embossed in white. Today I am heat embossing black pigment ink with clear powder to prepare my image for watercoloring.

For this “happy hello” I have stamped Penny Black's Blooming Tags on an Inchie Art square in black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear
powder. Heat embossing creates wonderful little "fences" that help keep the color contained in small areas. After trimming, the image was
colored with Tombow’s Dual Brush Pens.
Two types of coloring were used for this technique. The first application of color was
transferred from a plastic palette.
Puddles of ink were created by scribbling the Dual Brush Pens on an
acrylic block and then the ink was transferred to the image with a damp paintbrush. To add deeper highlights, the Dual Brush Pens
were then used direct to paper.
Elevated layers were created with white cardstock embossed
with Interlocking (Creative Dies - Penny Black) and strips of Summer Sun cardstock.
Tombow’s Xtreme Permanent Adhesive and 3-D Foam
Tabs were fantastic for adhering the elements together and creating the
dimensional layers.
A sentiment (Nature’s Wishes by Penny Black) and antique button add fun
accents to the design.
