Embossing Powder and Alcohol Ink Background Technique

Ok, so this one requires a bit more effort. By that, I mean, it requires an iron.


That used to be a deterrent because I didn't want to ruin my iron. But I got myself a mini-sized one recently. I had searched for a craft iron, but traveling irons seemed to be what Amazon felt I needed. Who am I to argue.


So if you got yourself an iron that you don't mind possibly getting gunky, this technique is super fun.

Step 7:

Press your heated iron onto the papers. Do it just long enough to tell the embossing powder has melted onto the top piece of paper.

Gently peel the top paper off your original paper.
