Playing with Lynda's Embossing machines today, both the Craftwell eBosser and the Sizzix Big shot. Very little to chose between them with this folder, the Big Shot was slightly deeper embossing. The eBosser will take larger folders though, so if your buying one this may be a consideration for you. After embossing a plain white card I coloured it with Promarker pens. Promarkers do not leave any lines, and colour evenly. A little glitter glue added and a ribbon and it's a card for all occasions.
