Hi Kim
Love your YouTube channel 🙂 I’ve just watched your embossing folder ideas, love them. I’ve also tried ink pads,colour cloud & embossing powders, ran the last idea through my machine then rubbed clear emboss or ink pads over paper & applied embossing powder/s, fab results & great for little journal pages. 🙂
Thank you so much 😀 I am really glad you are enjoying my channel! Guess what?! I plan to do some embossing powder and inky ideas in an upcoming instalment, so you are way ahead of the game! What is Colour Cloud like to use? I’ve never used it and would love to know what you think of it!
