Use Embossing in Your Scrapbook
Embossing is basically painting using heat. Embossing adds color and
metallic shine to items. Embossing can be used to add a metallic
feel to a truck or train in a children's book or add a masculine
touch to a graduation scrapbook.
To
emboss an item, sprinkle the embossing powder over the surface you
want embossed. Then, heat the powder until it melts. Aluminum foil
placed over the object can be used to quicken the heating process.
To reduce static cling and a mess afterwards, just place a dryer
sheet on top of the item before you work. To clean up, simply brush
away the remaining powder.
Embossing powder is available at most craft stores in a wide variety
of colors and tints.
