                                 Embossing Powder, Rubber Stamps

                                 Card Stock, Embossing Buddy (Cornstarch in a sock can also be used.)

   1.  Rub Embossing Buddy on card. (This keeps Powder from sticking anywhere but on the ink.)

   2.  Stamp Rubber Stamp with Embossing Ink and then stamp to card stock.

   3.  Place your card stock over tray or scratch paper.

   4.  Sprinkle Embossing Powder over design.  Tap off excess.  Pour excess back into container.

   5.  Place card stock with Embossing Powder over a surface that will not burn.  (You may cover

        a piece of cardboard with foil.)    

   6.  Heat stamped image with Heat Tool.  The powder melts leaving a shiny raised image.

   7.  The above sample was clear was made with a clear ink pad and black powder.

   9.  Some stamps may have open spaces.  Coloring can be done with watercolor pencils.

   10.  Another technique to color is to use a blender pen that has been dipped into a bit of

          ink from a rubber stamp pad.
