Clear embossing pads

 I was asked recently when we use our clear pads. The main stamped images have been coloured with embossing powders but backgrounds obtained by using pad for watermark or then going over with mica powders, I also used the pads to create a tile effect with clear embossing powders,

I also used one of the frames from the Christmas dies with this image. ( I have repeated tried to turn this image but it wont come up in that form - sorry!)
