Not sure how to use embossing powders? It couldn't be simpler: Embossing powders can be used in many ways, giving text an added dimension, or making stamped designis pop out. Here's how: Stamp your image in the normal way, then sprinkle the embossing powder over the wet ink. Shake off the excess and return to the jar. Heat the powder on the image until it melts, using a heating tool (don't overheat), and watch as it rises.
