i just LOVE this! I'm attempting to achieve the shiny gloss finish on my own embossing and not having the same gorgeous results. Mine are turning out dull and lifeless looking. Any suggestions? (i'm using SU! powder & marvy heat tool)

I used a clear embossing powder on the black cardstock here. I used Personal Impressions Clear Gloss powder but any clear gloss powder should work well.

thanks for the reply! I tried using black detail powder on black paper and it showed much nicer and shinier than the clear powder I have. (I think it's just too old) Side by side there is a very noticeable difference between the two.
