Directions for doing layered embossing. These are the directions I used in a class knowing that everyone would see me demo the product to make it clear. If these don't make sense to you, please email me privately for clarification. Personally, I think this writing effort only deserves a "C" but there it is. ;-) Cheers!!! Christine Layered Embossing: The premise of this technique is having something about each layer that will make the next layer of embossing powder stick to it until it can be heated. This can be Miracle Sheet (a sticky-on-both-sides sheet), embossing fluid, melted-and-still-hot embossing powder or pigment ink. There are two distinctly different products you can use with this technique which will give profoundly different results. Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) As this product is very heavy it is important to use a base such as cardboard which will not curl as it cools.
