Heat embossing techniques are now trending on You Tube. I have linked several technique videos below to encourage you to experiment with some ideas for new uses of EP. If you don't find a new technique that strikes your fancy on the list...adapt as you desire or create a new technique of your own as long as you use embossing powder and the technique is new to you...all is good.
When your card is complete please post a photo in the gallery using the title
Inktober Fest18:EP techniques. Then return here to provide a link to your card in the gallery and share your experience with the technique. Be sure to post the # of the of the inspiration video or the actual link if you found another video to try.
I will be offering a RAK or 2 for this challenge and so I encourage you to try more than 1 technique. The RAKs will be selected randomly with 1 entry for each card. Please no combos with other Inktober Fest challenges.
PLease post any questions on this thread.
Hope you find some new wonderful ways to embellish your cards!
Happy creative moments!...Jan
