Colored Texture, Holly

Photo Details

Poster: cjzim

Joan challenged us to color the texture of a dry embossed image. I have never had good results when I've tried this in the past, and I still don't IMO! I find it very difficult to keep from having messy coloring, even with excellent lighting. However, there are some GORGEOUS cards in the gallery using this technique, and kudos to those who can do this well! I give myself an E for Effort!

Stunning card Claudia! Love the embossing folder! I made such a mess when I tried this technique with Copics, you did a beautiful job!

I think you are probably your own worst critic. I find your card quite pretty!

I would give you a lot more than an E - both for effort and for the finished result. I think this is a lovely Christmas card - very effective use of the folder, and the red dots on the sentiment of course pick up perfectly on the holly berries

I think you did a great job coloring. This is a perfect example of the challenge. If this is mess, I would hate to say what I do.
