How to heat emboss with water

 

If you haven't tried heat embossing on your crafty projects yet then you are missing out on a lot of fun. Plus it really can add a great touch of texture and that bit of a luxury look to your creations. It really is very simple to do but the right equipment can help to get a great result. 

Personally I first brought a lot of cheap embossing powders and got very frustrated as I could not get the look that I was seeing on other peoples creations. Someone told me I should try Wow! Embossing powders and I have never looked back. I get great results so easily with their powders and there is a HUGE range of colours available. 

In this video I am showing how you can get a great result without even needing to use the specific embossing ink or glue by just using water.

You can find Crafty Purple Frog's range of Wow! Embossing powders HERE.
