Stamp-n-Stuff Embossing Powder - Op Green-Red Glitter

Stamp-n-Stuff Embossing Powder - Opaque Green-Red Glitter - 1oz jar. 

Embossing Powder & Polymer Clay:
These powders are normally connected to card making or scrap booking. But again Polymer clay shows its brilliance in the way of adopting techniques from other crafts. Embossing powders come in many colours, in clear and extra thick and even holographic. You can mix colours to create new colours, mix clear embossing powder with colored pigments, mica powder and much more. It can be used in several ways on clay.

You can mix it into the clay, which will give you very interesting “stone like” results, depending on the color and amount you mix in. Normally embossing powders melt when heated, but trapped in the clay, they somehow don't, giving a grainy appearance instead. If you heat the piece with a heat gun after curing, the powders on, and close to, the surface will melt, giving a slightly bumpy and shiny appearance.

Sprinkling embossing powder on the surface of raw clay will give you small freckles of melted powder, which also brings the mind to a somehow stone like looking surface. You can add large or smaller amounts depending on what sort of result you are after.

On cured clay, you can use it in the same way as on paper. Apply glue to your stamp, stamp the clay and sprinkle the powder over it. Shake of the excess powder and you are left with only what sticks to the glued parts. Heat with a heat gun to melt it. You can use an embossing glue pen to draw or write on the clay. You can not do this on raw clay though, as the powder would stick all over the
