I started with this piece of faux metal that was created for another challenge.

Recipe:
- Start with a 4 x 6 inch piece of white cardstock.
- Versamark the entire surface. Cover with the Copper Embossing powder. Heat Emboss.
- Repeat 4 times. The embossing powder I used was Judikens and is thicker which provides a nice thickness to embed your image.
- Versamark your stamp to prevent if from sticking in the embossing powder.
- Heat up the embossed surface until the embossing powder is liquid.
- Stamp image into embossing powder. Leave stamp in the melted embossing powder for 30 seconds until it cools.
Helpful Hints: I had issues with this piece as it was larger and needed to be kept flat. So I tried mounting it on my card which caused it to crack and then I heated it a little aftewards to remove the cracks which caused me to lose definition of my image in areas. So after you finish while it is still flexible make sure to put something on it to keep it flat.
