For my project I chose to do heat embossing, I stamped the image with versamark and then sprinkled on black embossing powder. Make sure you coat all the image and shake off the excess. Use a heat gun to set it, it almost looks like it is melting, then you are ready to color it in. I used my Stampin Up ink pads and Q tips to color my image, I found this worked better than sponges for making it more detailed. Just rub the Q tip on the ink pad in a circular motion and then rub on the image. I started with the parts I wanted to be the darkest since the ink was heavier at first, then blend out. You can use lighter colors or just use less pressure for highlights and such.
Here is the whole line up -

Your card is beautiful. I just learned a new technique too (that I am going to have to try). I haven't used ink pads for the coloring, but Q-tips would seem to work perfectly. I am so glad you are part of this hop!
Thanks!

Very pretty!! I use my ink and Q tip too!! I have used it to colour in images but mostly i go over the dry embossing with them to add color!!

Bee-utiful artwork creation. Like the colored on look. Not thought to use black embossing powder & coloring in like this. Will give this a try. I've done heat embossing, dry embossing & started by embossing with a lightbox, stylus & template.

I love your card it is so elegant and sophisticated. Great idea to use q-tips I always use eye shadow applicators, Q-tips are much more economical.

Your card is so lovely, Gwen! I never even thought of stamping an image and inking it. I only thought of heat embossing a sentiment. Not sure which one is easier! But love that idea. --Pat N.
Gwen this is absolutely gorgeous, you did great with your technique!!!
