Embossing Powders

Embossing powder is something I have experimented with on and off. I like the Distress embossing powder by Ranger Industries. One of the problems I have encountered in using the powders is scorching the paper. I think the trick is to keep the heat gun moving. I attempt to do just that, but sometimes end up scorching the paper even when I am careful with the heat gun.

I want to try a project I recently saw demonstrated on the DIY Network that involved melting several layers of embossing powders to create a faux tile look.

Happy crafting.
