Help! How do I do this?

[Shopping Diva]

After I run my cardstock through my cuttlebug, how would I color the raised part without getting ink, etc. on the rest of the cardstock?

Thanks!

i just run my ink pad lightly over the raised surface

i like the way it looks

you could try inking your breyer and trying that

i am sure others have other methods

good luck

I've used a sponge. Just have a light touch.

You can always ink your CB Folder (with a brayer or sponge) on the one side before placing your CS in it. Depending on which side of the folder you ink up- you can ink the raised or the lower part.

I do the same as Momis Mama - hold the ink pad as flat to the surface as you can so it doesn't go down into the dips and just swipe it over. I think a brayer might flatten your embossing - haven't tried it though, just guessing!

These are all very helpful tips.

Thank you!

I have done both methods mentioned above...

This one is just rubbing the ink pad on one side of the embossing folder before running the CS through:

And this one is just rubbing the ink pad lightly over the embossed CS:

I haven't been able to get a very inky look with rubbing without making it look streaky, so I only use it for a soft distressed look...I have seen others do really well with it though!

i just run the ink pad lightly over the paper keeping it flat. If you use white core paper you could sand the raised images. Different effect but kinda cool!

I knew I could count on you girls - you're so creative!

This is what I do with mine. A makeup sponge with a very light touch.

I do mine the same way. Just an inkpad light across the raised areas. I love this look!
