I think that "not the queen" made some very good points though.<BR/>malieta:)Risahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020892131604745309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852018319627769613.post-79797731040212657192008-03-04T05:54:00.000-08:002008-03-04T05:54:00.000-08:00If your embossing is flat it's probably because yo...If your embossing is flat it's probably because you have over done it a little with the heat gunPam Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515559420536226170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852018319627769613.post-24645979860424040812008-03-03T23:58:00.000-08:002008-03-03T23:58:00.000-08:00I've been wanting to get embossing tools and powde...I've been wanting to get embossing tools and powders now!

Dye inks dry too fast to be good at embossing. You can do it, but you have to work very fast. Pigments are much better.<BR/><BR/>Next, check the kind of embossing powder you're using. Some "puff" more than others. You can also do a second layer of powder. Sprinkle more powder on top of the heated powder while it's still hot. Heat again, and you get twice the "puff."<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by.Hillary (Mrs. Einstein)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12940117213118254462noreply@blogger.com
