Blind Embossing ??

[filusm]

I've been playing with my Cuttlebug today, trying a couple different techniques with CS and watercolor paper ... using watercolor crayons and blender pen, but not totally happy with the outcome. Then I tried inking the folders first ... which looked OK but not enough contrast for me.

What are the other ways I can add color to the embossed image?
And what's your favorite way to use the embossed piece once you've made it?

Thanks for all your advice!!

You can try sponging ink on.

I usualy stamp an immage and color it in with markers then run it thru the cuddle bug , it looks great. Mine was a bird and i did the snowflakes .

I emboss on blank card stock then color in with markers, pencils, Perfect Pearls, glitter glue, etc. I don't want to put any kind of color directly on my embossing folders, though I know others do it and are fine with it.

i like to emboss the paper and then just use my ink pad to rub across the embossed image.

that i have done also. Another thing to do is to spray a little water mist on the card stock then emboss it in the cb and it gives it a little deeper immage.
