It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that embossing powder can be used for more than a shiny or pretty thing? Let me explain.
Embossing powders traditionally are used to highlight or accentuate a word, flower, accent piece, etc. It is used to make something stand out. But did you know more can be done with these great powders?
It can also be used as a resist. Use a clear powder and heat. After it is cool then spread color all over using the Sponge Daubers, Blending Brushes, saran wrap dipped in ink, and so much more. After you are done with the ink then take a paper towel and clean off where the embossing powder is. You will be left with a negative image or blank spot of no ink to highlight your stamped image.
And lastly, it can be used as a border. If you are floating watercolor use the embossing powder as a border or stop for the water. This will give you a water colored image with a defined edge.
Do you have other ways to use embossing powder? Please share in the comments.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
