Third Thursday Tools!

Simply... Thank you for Tools!

One of my favorite techniques to add a raised texture

 to a card is by Heat Embossing!

Besides a quality paper you need the following tools which are my

Third Thursday Tools! I have chosen.

First Tool - Ink

 VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad is a very sticky ink that acts

 like a glue and holds on to the Embossing Powders.

This is the ink I use!

Second Tool -  Embossing Powders

Embossing Powders I use are from Stampendous and Martha Stewart.

There are many other quality embossing powders,

Try a few and chose your favorite!

Gently shake off excess Embossing Powder back into a container!

Third Tool - Heat Gun

(Third Thursday Tool and Third Tool - surprise!)

I remember the first time I heat embossed,

watching the powder as I swirled my heat gun over the image

turn into a raised & glistening texture. Wow!

Heat Gun I use is from Martha Stewart.

Also, embossing powders come in colors and clear pigments.

Colors used on tree are

 Stampendous Pearl White and Martha Stewart Evergreen.

Please comment on your favorite Embossing Inks,

 Embossing Powders and Heat Gun that you use!

Enjoy - Tools!
