This SEI paper is pre-embossed with little black bats everywhere (how kewl are they?!). Stamping over these embossed bats which resist the ink on the stamp makes it look like the stamped image is behind the bats. To avoid unwanted smudges, flip over the paper and rub onto a scrap to lift any of the ink that has bubbled on top of the bats. The crystal drops and the moon have been colored in with Tim Holt's Picket Fence Distress Marker to give them an opaque white appearance. The moon has then been gently colored over with Copic Marker Y06 to make it "glow". The stars are colored with Copic Y06 (without Picket Fence), glitter pen and finally clear glazed to make them shimmer and reflect.
