Apply pigment ink to your stamp. VersaColor is perfect for this. It is easier to dab downwards onto the stamp, rather than to press the stamp onto the inkpad.

Press your stamp firmly onto the paper.

Pour plenty of embossing powder over the stamped image. You should have a few minutes while the ink is still wet.

Pour the excess powder back into the pot (you actually use very little).

Apply heat with your heat gun (not a hairdryer!). You will see the powder melt in just a few seconds. Switch off the heat gun and wait a few more seconds for the powder to be cool to the touch.

Voila! The silver powder has completely covered the ink colour underneath and you have a beautiful shiny, embossed finish!
