Cecilia, thank you so much, and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@pandora8899]

I love the effect. Great job. I use smaller daubers for the little spots. Then I don’t get colour where it doesn’t belong.

[@maryscraftstudio]

Thank you !

[@laurawilliams5282]

Beautiful card fronts! So much cleaner than the currently popular technique of swiping a black ink pad over the card after coloring debossed side.

[@maryscraftstudio]

Thank you! I agree, when I watch someone do the black swiping technique it makes me cringe thinking they are going to ruin their card, besides, I like the 3D embossed look. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@JesseX0086]

Really nice work! You’ve inspired me!

[@maryscraftstudio]

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and commenting also.

[@nonalaughton9326]

Thank you so much for your tips. I never thought of tapping. A white ink on before. I'd been trying to swipe colours over the raised image & was never satisfied with the result. Again with trying to use the finger daubers I got an okay ish result, in that I was happy enough to send it to my friend for her birthday. I'm going to try the white ink too next, & see how I get on xx

[@maryscraftstudio]

I'm so glad the tips were useful for you. Please let me know how it turns out when you try it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@maryscraftstudio tried it yesterday and still playing with it today, LOVE this technique the white first is what I hadn’t tried before and it really makes a difference. I did also add another touch of white after the distress oxide, really highlited the color. Thanks so much!

[@maryscraftstudio]

@@peggyrose204 that’s great to hear! Thanks for the update💜

[@michelinehess3322]

very pretty and different ```i am certaintly try myself could we us Brilliance ink also? thank you to show us such [beautiful card.

[@maryscraftstudio]

Hello! Thank you for your kind words. You should be able to use Brilliance ink as it is a pigment ink same as the Unicorn I was using, Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@cherylmcclendon4726]

Love this idea. How long did it take for the pigment ink to dry? I will try this. Thanks.

[@maryscraftstudio]

Hi Cheryl, I let it sit for about half an hour. It really depends on room temperature and humidity. You can dry with a heat gun from the back also if you don’t want to wait, just be careful. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@deborahstone5564]

Hi Mary 👋🏽😊, long time no talk to, hope you’ve been well. I’ve been going through some things, we can talk privately. I am writing to ask you if you’re doing advent calendars this year. Spellbinders released both of theirs today and I got them. I’m looking for others. Let me know. ☺️ Also, I love this beautiful black artwork, it’s impressive!

[@maryscraftstudio]

Hi Deborah! It has been awhile, I’ve been good thanks. Sorry to hear you’ve been going through some stuff🙁 I will be doing the advent calendars again this year, in fact I just received my Spellbinders yesterday. I didn’t order the stitching one though. Brutus Monroe had one I’m thinking about getting but it’s only 12 days, so I’m still looking Crafters Companion isn’t out yet. Taylored Expressions does one but it’s very pricy. Glad your back and glad you like this card. Talk soon!
