- Use paint brush and same ink colors to add detail to your texture and spatter
- Use ink cubes to apply a stripe directly to the brayer in 3 colors in a similar family and roll on the debossed side of the folder, run through embossing folder, and for extra color and interest, use up extra ink from brayer directly on embossed panel
- Line up a die cut to the embossed panel, emboss and line up to be in line with embossed panel
- Ink blend the card base with 3 analogous ink colors. Use our layering template and dies. Create a template for your card, die-cut your blended panel, and use the embossed side to emboss the pieces

The 5 Ways Showcasing Diagonal Embossed Strips + White Pigment Ink Magic are:
- Cut up different colored strips of colored cardstock and piece back together, ink textured side of folder with white pigment ink
- Emboss panel and cut up at a pivot point to the right, and use a tacky mat to ink blend on each piece; use a second white embossed panel to line up – gently use the white pigment pad to wipe over the entire finished panel for pretty highlights
- Use back (debossed side) of card panel, cut, color blend, use a background stamp and white pigment ink to add a very subtle and beautiful bit of interest to the background
- Start with a colored cardstock panel and pick a text background embossing folder. Use a white pigment ink pad to gently swipe on color to the top of the text to make it pop. Diagonally cut the panel and add a vellum and colored cardstock piece for added interest.
- Pick 3 colors that blend well together and blend a card panel. Create your own background by using a mixture of stamps in slightly darker colors as well as the white pigment ink for a pop of ghosting. Trim off a diagonal corner to leave an open space for a sentiment. Emboss over this background.
