Ask Beate
Beate Johns answers your technique questions
Q: itamir asked: "There are lots of different types of embossing powders. What is the difference between them and how do they work when embossing?"
A: Detail embossing powder has the finest grain, and as the name suggests, works best on detailed images and sayings. Regular embossing powder is probably used most often and works great with most stamps. Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (often called UTEE; Stampin' Up!'s is called Glassy Glaze™) creates thick, glossy layers. It is great for techniques like
cracked glass
or
faux metal.

Amanda has another great tip for the alcohol inks: "Here in the UK, peel-off stickers in gold and silver are very popular (words & images). I personally don't use them a lot but if you use alcohol inks to change their appearance they make great embellishments and can looked aged and great for heritage projects and pages. Just apply inks to the the sticker page as you do for the tins and tiles."
