I shared this technique at a recent Virtual Team Meeting. I embossed the large Magnolia Lane bloom with black embossing powder. I used White Craft Ink refill and just a drop or two of water. You don't want it too wet. The important thing to remember is to let the ink dry between layers of color. And craft ink takes a long time to dry so patience is needed! When the second layer of White Craft Ink is almost dry, I blotted at the ink to smooth the color out), When it was completely dry I took a dauber and my Petal Pink ink pad and added color to the center of the blossom, pulling it out towards the petals.
I used Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends to color the leaves and added the greeting. The card base is Mossy Meadow and flower piece is matted on Basic Black.
Not a difficult technique but definitely not a quick one. You can try using your heat tool to speed up the drying but I didn't like how the ink melted into the embossed part and muted the black. I just let it air dry.
