Hello, stampers!
Memory Box just released its latest collection, and guess what! You can now get Memory Box stamps in a cling version!!! How cool is that?!
Today I've made a card featuring two of the new stamps! I also tried some new things on this card and was really pleased with my results:
- I used Inktense watercolor pencils for the first time; and
- I decided to dry emboss and ink the embossing after I had stamped and colored my image and sentiment.

Beautiful card Deborah! How did you stamp over the embossing panel? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments, ladies!
I stamped and colored my image and sentiment on a flat panel. Then I put it into an embossing folder and ran it through my Vagabond. After that, I applied Ranger Distress (Pumice Stone) ink using a foam ink applicator tool to highlight the surface embossing. I originally did this because I didn't do a very good job with the Inktense pencils, so I was looking for a way to sort of cover my mistakes - lol! But after I finished inking the embossed surfaces, the whole look really began to grow on me, so I think I'll be doing this again very soon!
