Bumbleberry Blog — heat embossing

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team.  As you all know, Mother's day is just around the corner...well for the weekend!

Combined with emboss resist,...

Today I decided to use my Zig clean colour real brush markers to colour this stamp in. They are lovely to work with on either watercolour card or like I have used in this project, Bristol smooth cardstock. You'll be amazed at how effortlessly they blend. Have you tried out Zig clean colour real brush markers before? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts on them, just leave a...
