Distress Embossing Powders- Technique 3

Hi all

sorry I haven't been able to post a technique until today. This technique is really easy and what distress powders were designed for.

Step 1

Ink up your letter/shape with versamark

Step 2

Shake your embossing powder before you sprinkle

Sprinkle embossing powder over the versamark

Step 3

Shake off any excess and put back into packet

Step 4

Heat to melt the powder remembering that it goes darker and doesn’t melt like normal powders

Step 5

When cool rub you’re fingers over the top allowing the crystals to fall off. This will give you a distress and worn look.
