For the Sympathy Card Part 1- Custom Coloring your Embellishments, you will gently pat the colored embellishment with the alcohol sprayed cotton pad until you get the desired texture and look on the embellishment.

This is what it will look like on the pad. You are basically taking off some of the ink from your embellishment to give it texture. If you want to take more color from it, add more alcohol to the make up pad and you can continue to do so to get the desired effect.
