OCC ~ Embossing with Color

Hello everyone and welcome to 'My Little Stampin' Spot! This week our hostess Sarah Gough ~ Thinking Stamps, over at 'Our Creative Corner' is challenging us to add color and depth to our dry embossing using ink and a sponge or brayer, paint, or by inking the embossing folder directly before running through your die cutting machine.

I wanted to create a interesting package for a gift card for my Neice for Christmas. I had ordered a few of these metal DVD cases a while back (like 2 years ago!) and came across them and thought they would be perfect for my packaging idea. I love how it turned out, and now plan to decorate a few more and use them for a stationary/card gift set.
