I'm not sure I'm doing it right, I heat emboss, then rubb for all I'm worth, and it just comes out a bit smeary, while the ends of my fingers feel slightly burnt and get a build up of gooey gunge on them. Anyone had more luck than me???

They don't appeal to me at all, they look tatty and second hand when finished using those inks and powders. I like my cards to look new, or newish? sounds messy also? good luck with them Kim, I am sure yours will be better thn any of mine would be using those materials. Poppy

I think it's one of those looks that can look great if really well done, but as you say, tatty and cheap if it doesn't quite work!

I liked the idea, but the practice isn't quite working as i hoped :angry: BTW, yes I am interested in the book, I'm having a look through to see if I have some bits to send you or a cheque!!
