Wow! has been creating beautiful craft embossing powders in the UK since 2007 and now they are available to crafters in the USA! Non-toxic and anti-static.
How to Emboss:
- Create a wet image - this is normally done with a Rubber Stamp or Embossing Pen
- Work quickly as the ink must stay sticky while the powder is applied.
- Sprinkle the embossing powder over the entire area to be raised.
- The powder needs to stick to the ink so it is important that the ink is still wet.
- Remove the excess powder by tapping the sheet and letting it fall back into the container.
- Stray traces of powder can be brushed off or wiped away carefully.
- Heat the powder with a heat gun, being careful to apply even heat to the whole area. This is best done from underneath.
- Move the gun around so as not to over heat or burn the paper.
- The powder will melt and leave a raised finish.
- It will take a few seconds to solidify so do not touch the molten powder too quickly!
