Welcome back, friends! Today I’m sharing a fun technique that combines texture and color in the most eye-catching way. I’m using a 3D embossing folder to create a raised design, then bringing it to life with alcohol markers. Coloring directly over the embossed surface adds incredible depth and dimension — and it’s much easier than you might expect!
VIDEO
I have a video tutorial that you can watch down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
I walk through all of the supplies used in the video, and you’ll find a full supply list in the video description, plus a visual supply list at the end of this blog post. So I’ll briefly go over the key supplies here.
