Deep Impression Tile

Hi everyone, welcome to my!

I’ve entered my Deep Impression Tile using clear Ultra Thick Embossing Powder to the UK Stampers Forum challenge!

Firstly I cut a piece of brown board card then covered it using Versamark Ink pad or an Embossing Ink pad.  Once covered I added the clear Ultra Thick Embossing Powder over the top, then I heated the powder using my embossing heat tool.  I repeated this procedure three times by doing this you will see the heated powder becomes quite thick.   Stamp your chosen stamp into the hot melted powder, press down and hold for a few seconds then lift the stamp off the card.  I do think using a rubber stamp is more effective than using a clear stamp.  You can add your finished Tile to a card a box or a tag!  I used my Dandelion stamp!
