Tips from the show

• Heat from underneath the cardstock when using glitter to help it stay embedded in the powder.
• Tap off excess glitter gently to avoid losing too much of the sparkly effect.
• Layer multiple colours of embossing powder in a salt-and-pepper technique for a more interesting finish.
