Embossing Powders for Rubber Stamping Projects

Sunday August 24, 2008

Embossing powders bring an added dimension to stamping projects and are great fun to use. The tiny granules melt when heated to form a raised glossy surface. There is a wide range of different types of embossing powder available. Not only is it possible to find embossing powders in all colors of the rainbow - and more - it is also possible to find metallic, sparkling and even scented embossing powders.

Embossed rubber stamped images give a professional finish to a project. They are also ideal for providing a good outline for painting or coloring images. All that is required to use embossing powders with rubber stamping projects is a slow drying or embossing ink, embossing powders and a craft heat gun.
