Ultra-thick Embossing Powder

This is my third try at making an ATC with Ultra-thick Embossing Powder. The first two were just too awful for your eyes and a far cry from anything called "Art".

When you click on the picture you can get the full effect of the embossing powder melted over paint. They were fun to make, but WHAT A MESS! And messes are not what I'm known for cleaning up...in my studio at least. (My husband says the rest of the house is perfect!)

Here's how it's done:

1. Paint a card with acrylic paint.
2. Dry your painted card with your heat gun.
3. Apply clear embossing ink over entire card.
4. Spread Ultra-thick embossing powder over card.
5. Melt with your heat gun.
6. Re-do steps 4 and 5 ultil you have a thick base of melted embossing powder (around three times).
7. Apply ink to your stamp.
8. Press stamp on card and leave until card cools.
9. Gently peal card from stamp.

I imagine you can use paper bits and fibers on your card, instead of paint. Maybe even some glitter would be a nice addition. (The wheels are turning once again!!!)
