You can emboss your own design or handwiting if you use a glitter gell pen to write with then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat as usual!!! If you use a coloured gell pen and clear embossing powder, you'll have that colour embossing!!!

GREAT FOR PERSONALISING YOUR CARDS!! Poppy. :)

Cool tip, Poppy! I have about a dozen gel pens. Think I'll give this a try.

It really works. I do it round apertures in script writing and it looks great. Poppy. :)

Apparently you can use ballpoint pens too but as the ink dries quite quickly you have to be quick - I think I tried it before and it worked but I wouldn't swear to it :wacko:

Yes you can use ball point pens, but the best ones to use I find are GLITTER GELL PENS ! These have a better grab for embossing powder and don't dry too soon before adding the embossing powder. They are very cheap as well, approx 10 for £1-00 @ the £ shop !!!
