I used a black Palette brand glue/embossing pad along with a normal clear one. I used extra fine embossing powder. The stamp I used was one with three solid flowers. I masked the center flower. Then stamped the image using the clear pad and embossed. I masked the other portion of the stamp exposing the center flower. Then using a stamp placer, I stamped in the missing flower using the black pad. I embossed it. It is the same color but darker in hue. It adds a nice focal point to the card. I can�t post it anywhere since I sent the card out for Christmas.
