[@dorothykovak4900]

I totally saw the tree and I still do. You could stamp a tree design over it now. This is a wonderful technique. I know I never would have thought of it. Thank you for doing all the experiments and for sharing all your results.

[@ScrappyMim]

That Poinsettia came out gorgeous. I still saw the tree even at the end. It was like it wain a blizzard. Really love the expirementing you do.

[@marionemberson]

I was really pleased with that and yes, you’re right, it was in a blizzard 🤗🤗🤗

[@marionemberson]

Thanks so much Jan 🥰🥰🥰

[@lindastubbington6105]

I couldn't believe you poured the embossing powders straight on the iron! What fun! I put my cardstock between the pages of a large sewing book. I protect the pages with baking paper. Works a treat x

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Linda, that’s a great idea 🥰🥰🥰

I seen the tree,I love watching you experiment. You give me courage to play and see what can happen❤

[@marionemberson]

Aww that’s lovely, have fun 🤗🤗🤗

[@mewdar]

I still saw the tree even after you said it had vanished, a bit like wind blown blended tree, I loved it, think with the other velum one with pinks on these were my 2 favs, I would never have thought about putting the powders directly onto an iron, I have got crafting iron not used it for years, think I originally bought when playing with fantasy film, love how you always bring us new ideas and twists on things, loved what you made with them at the end too.

[@marionemberson]

If I was an artist I could have gotten away with that tree 😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed it, get your iron out and play 🤗🤗🤗

[@Gidget3922]

Great technique. The poinsettias were beautiful 🤗 and I did see the tree!

[@marionemberson]

Awesome! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@debshaw8564]

I just love watching you “experiment”. You are a joy. Thank you for sharing. One day I will give that technique a try. Your cards are wonderful. And, yes, there was definitely a tree there. 😂

[@marionemberson]

Thanks so much and yes, definitely try it, it’s fun 🤗🤗🤗

[@mitzi66]

As per usual, you are amazing! I need an old iron now! ❤❤❤

Thank you! Just grab a cheap travel iron. From Amazon 🤗🤗🤗

[@pattyclancy9051]

It was fun to watch you do this technique. Could you hear me trying to tell you to use just two colors and do some without the overpowering pink? LOL. I love how excited you get and I definitely was laughing with you at times. I need to get an iron dedicated to crafting.

Hi Marion,that was just magic,don't like the idea of the hot iron look was flinching when you was using the baby wipe.lol😂

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Mandy, yes, so was I 😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@dstrick12]

Wow! Beautiful cards! I love the first two backgrounds the most. It does look similar to encaustic wax. When you first applied the powder directly to the iron, my mouth dropped open! LOL! I saw the Christmas tree, too. Thank you for your videos. ❤

[@marionemberson]

Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it 🤗🤗🤗

[@kathypatterson4630]

Well, this is very interesting!!

[@marionemberson]

Glad you think so Kathy 🤗🤗🤗

[@amazingcreations5218]

This reminds me of the look I used to get with the Opals embossing enamels that were created years ago by an Aussie company. They were thick embossing powders like UTEE, but in such pretty colours & I used to make all sorts of things including backgrounds with them. I really need to revisit this technique. Thanks for sharing

[@marionemberson]

Ohhh not heard of those, but they sound great 🥰🥰🥰

[@nfender3436]

There was definitely a tree! Also I think this has been my favorite of your videos. You are a gem! Thank you for bringing us along on your fun!

[@karenbartlett4968]

What a great idea. Love the cards!

[@marionemberson]

Glad you like them Karen 🥰🥰🥰

[@dizzinese]

I loved the ultra highs so I bought black and silver! I love that sprinkled on!!!I need to get mind out and try! I wonder, if you do it fast enough, if you could “ stamp” images or multi media images into it such as stamping an old used tape roll- the hard cardboard ring, or a rubber stamp that you could reheat to melt anything it picks up and stamp it off????? That would be cool a two fer! If it worked.

[@marionemberson]

It does set very quickly, so I’m not sure Denise,but give it a go 🤗🤗🤗

[@beerich2117]

You are a funny lady. Felt like I was looking over your shoulder as you create.😂

[@marionemberson]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@julieorme9646]

I saw the tree . Wish you lived close to me . I love this idear x x x

[@marionemberson]

Yay, glad you liked it 🤗🤗🤗

[@dizzinese]

I loved the technique. But I would use them as first layer backgrounds. Then stencil over or try embossing folders or another technique on top. Please try doing an image lift technique while they are hot! I’d love to know if that works! Especially the rubber stamp idea because you can reheat it on the stamp and maybe stamp it! Lmk if that works.

[@marionemberson]

If I get time I will, got so many birthdays and babies coming, times running away 😂😂🥰🥰

[@enaidyeltneb369]

I saw it! I have found my phone to be a much better weight than an acrylic block or die plate. I also have one of the very old cuttlebugs with the very thick bottom plate that works well.

[@marionemberson]

That’s a great idea, thanks 🤗🤗🤗

[@dizzinese]

Yep saw the Christmas tree. But I saw a group of pines.

[@beajackson]

Fab cards, interesting technique, definitely saw the makings of a tree and then whoosh! The translucent powders are my favourite like you said the others were overpowered by pink (as were always are 🤣) Always look forward to your videos Marion, thanks again for your time 😊

[@marionemberson]

Thanks so much Bea, glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰

[@judymcintire7095]

Love the technique ❤you need a travel iron with no holes

[@marionemberson]

I certainly do 😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed it 🤗🤗🤗

[@donnaschraeder8670]

I wonder if with the glitter you pounced it instead of rubbing it, if that would work better. I do like it better on the vellum.

[@marionemberson]

Yeah, that’s a good idea Donna, vellum gives it. Softer look. 🤗🤗🤗

[@ariesgirl3444]

Love your experiments Marion. Just wondering how it would be to sprinkle the EP onto the cardstock? I will try that later today.

[@marionemberson]

Sprinkling is good, just heat from underneath, thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰

[@deejohnson827]

Marion, at first I said, "What are you doing??" 😅 This is a cool technique! I think you could get extra backgrounds if you wiped off the iron on actual cardstock instead of copy paper. That might be interesting! Yes, I saw the tree right away. So fun! I loved your cards at the end. Thanks for an entertaining video! ❤

[@marionemberson]

Thanks Dee, I always forget to do that 🙈🙈 good reminder 😍😍😍

[@donnaschraeder8670]

🥰🥰🥰

[@dizzinese]

What about heating up on iron and then cooling iron and peeling it off? Like that punching technique you do and scrape off with a spatula. Just having ideas.

[@marionemberson]

That’s a great idea, it would take a long time for the iron to cool down, but it would be good if it worked 😜😜🥰🥰🥰

[@Jennifer-ep1sr]

I am undecided on this technique. I have done encaustic art, and wax is slippery. However, we have to give things a go, don't we! ❤🇦🇺

[@marionemberson]

Definitely, that’s what it’s all about 🤗🤗

[@charlottemcclelland8372]

In doing this technique you could use silicone hot glue finger guards to protect from the heat while holding the paper.

[@marionemberson]

That’s a great idea, as like a lemming, I burnt myself twice, not badly, but could have shed those finger guards 😂😂🤗🤗🤗

[@CardsbyMaaike]

i did see the tree, also could have been clouds. I think the key is to use 2 colours only as you get mud quickly but it's fun to play isn't it?

[@marionemberson]

Definitely, I never know when to stop 😂😂🤗🤗🤗

Love this technique! Nicely done, warts and all... Thanks for sharing your experiments.

[@marionemberson]

Thank you very much for watching 🥰🥰🥰

[@DonnaJo3452]

I suppose running the sheets thru a laminator contained within a carrier would not work, that would just reheat everything but maybe it would straighten them out. Anyway, I love your cards. When I saw the crinkled up, one the red one that you said cracked and stuff was flaking off, I thought, poinsettia for sure!

[@marionemberson]

Actually, you’ve given me an idea, if you sprinkled powders on your card stock and placed it between parchment paper, then in a carrier sheet and through the laminator, I reckon that could work 🤗🤗🤗

[@dizzinese]

This is really cool! I wonder how watercolor or a more textured substrate would be? Just because it might not slide around so easily and smear too much. Just an idea but idk what other surface would be really textured.

[@marionemberson]

I’m assuming you mean water colour pans ? Yes that could be interesting 🥰🥰🥰

[@lu-ellenhafner4968]

Difference between failure and ART is knowing when to STOP

[@sheryl5252]

i still see a christmas tree in the one you commented on at about 25:30... there are a few 'branches' to the left side but it's like a glow now. could you stamp or use die cut branches to put a tree on top and let the lighter embossing powder glow through/around it?

If you took a piece of parchment paper, folded it in half, put your card stock in between and put all colors of your embossing powders on, close parchment paper, and use your heat tool on top to melt the embossing powders.

[@marionemberson]

Hi, thanks, yes I do that in another video. I just love playing with embossing powders 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks, I’m an artist and didn’t know it 😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@lu-ellenhafner4968]

How would this compare with using a heat gun?

[@marionemberson]

This is different as I’m applying directly on the iron, I do do a pouncing technique with embossing powders using a heat tool. I have a few videos showing that 🥰🥰🥰

[@barbfitzgerald5472]

Maybe if. You mist the back of the cardstock,then put something heavy on it to dry. your heat gun on the back of the vellum but not too hot or too close then weight it down
