Heat Embossing with Chalk Couture

Heat Embossing with Chalk Couture stencils

If you are a paper crafter you have likely dabbled with heat embossing powders and stamping. I love the way embossing powders enhance the look of your project.  So of course we had to try using the embossing powders with our Chalk Couture stencils and it was fabulous creative success!

We had an idea... dangerous I know. Would heat embossing powder work with our Chalk Couture silk screen stencils?  So we tested it. After much thought, we decided that ink would be the better choice over paste because the ink is made to be heat set and the paste can have negative effects when heat set.  
Following the same process as normal for applying the ink--

• place the stencil,
• spread the ink across- removing the excess,
• peel the transfer & reveal your design,
• quickly wash the transfer off. Remember you do not want the ink to dry in your stencil.
• Apply the heat embossing powder to the wet ink, gently tap off the excess.  
• Using the heat gun heat the embossing powder until it transforms. My favourite part!
