Triple Embossing -Something a Little Different!.......Triple Embossing is a relatively simple technique which just requires a little care. Once you've perfected it your friends will be seriously impressed by the results!
STEP 1: Choose a Pigment Ink Pad, either clear or whatever colour you want to work with. Ink over the area you want to have Triple Embossed. STEP 2: Choose the Rubber Stamp image you want to use and set it to one side, where you can quickly reach it. STEP 3: Sprinkle Embossing Powder all over the inked area. Gently tap off any excess. STEP 4: Using your Heat Gun , heat up the embossing powder until it has melted. STEP 5: Whilst the melted powder is still hot, sprinkle more embossing powder on top of it and heat it up again. STEP 6: For a 3rd time, sprinkle more embossing powder onto the work and again reheat. STEP 7: Using the pigment ink, ink up your rubber stamp. STEP 8: Before the powder has cooled down stamp the image into the melted powder. STEP 9: Let the embossing cool down a little before you try to remove the stamp. If you try to pull it away too soon the melted powder will be stringy and you will spoil the piece. TIP: Don't panic if this happens - just reheat the embossing powder, add a little more, heat again and restamp! IDEA Instead of using the same coloured embossing powder for each layer, use different colours. This is a fun technique and you should have fun trying it out. Mix and match colours or just add a touch of metallic - it's your choice. Use just one image on your card or make a number of smaller images so they look like a set of tiles. IDEA: Triple Emboss around the edge of the card to create a frame effect.
