That sounds so cool! I love copper ep and don't see it used nearly enough. I'll have to try it.

Most powders will change when they get overheated. Year ago, when heat embossing was our go-to technique for every project, it was actually named -- superheating. The effect will vary by which powder and especially what thickness of paper you use. On thin vellum, cheap lunch sacks, printer paper and thinner DSP you can create come really cool effects that look translucent.

It can look distressed esp in the metallics which could be cool. But you can also burn the paper so be careful
BTW, you can fix it by stamping and putting on more powder. It will be higher. People do double embossing on purpose to get that but now there are some super thick powders so you dont have to.

I'm not sure if the powder goes bad, so I've replaced several of my powders just in case. I do start heating from the back, which does help, especially with the heavier powder and glitter powder.
I hope this helps. |
I have seen this, too. I “overheated” my e.p, a few times, and it just soaked right into the paper.
