The embossing powder is sprinkled onto embossing ink which holds it to the surface of the paper. The powder is then melted using a heat gun, which leaves a raised (embossed) surface design.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When mixed into polymer clay, or placed onto polymer clay, you can get some cool effects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">What&#8217;s unique about the Tim Holtz Distress brand of embossing powder, is that it contains some larger grains which don&#8217;t melt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Some of the sandy grains then embed themselves into the melted embossing powder, leaving a gritty surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And some of the grains fall off giving a chipped and distressed look to the project.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I have taken a sample of raw Premo polymer clay and placed a small pile of the distress embossing powder onto it, then baked for 1 hour at 275F (the recommended baking temperature for Premo).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">My test sample has sat for a few months now, without any issues showing up in regards to polymer clay compatibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The baked sample has a very textural surface that feels very gritty to the touch, like sand or brick.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When the melted powder is scratched a few sand grains will come off, but the majority is very stuck-on and durable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I will be doing a tutorial soon that incorporates the distress embossing powder in the technique. It is a graffiti technique where the gritty texture gives the look of a cement wall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder looks great mixed into translucent polymer clay for a cool stone like effect.<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/akYMMjblH2Y?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=17470#video\">UTEE Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel on Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=9411\">Polymer Clay Faux Jade Technique<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=4528#video\">Anjou Pear Fruit Beads Polymer Clay Tutorial<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
