This is my first attempt at Pastel Embossing. It's definitely flawed, but I do like the technique enough to try it again. I'm hopeful that I'll have better results the next time!
I found that I had more control if I applied the pastels with a blender pen. I also hit it with my heat gun after coloring it to keep the pastels from rubbing off. It worked like a charm!

I think I read yesterday that you were having trouble getting motivated to stamp. I should have such a result with no motivation!! Actually, I probablty wouldn't have such a beautiful result with lots of motivation. TFS
