Tips from the show

Use versamark ink over distress oxide to ensure embossing powder sticks properly.
Pounce embossing powder with a soft brush rather than brushing to avoid smearing the wet ink.
The watercolour rainbow papers provide instant colour variation so you don't need to colour in the florals yourself.
