Hi Wendy, 
 
-> Is anyone else having trouble with the puff-up embossing 
-> powder?  I tried it and had trouble with it sticking to 
-> the surface and covering evenly. At first I thought the 
-> problem was that my embossing pen wasn't keeping it wet 
-> enough, but when I went to emboss the lightening bolt (I 
-> had done the cloud first) the gold on the lightening bolt 
-> stuck to the areas of the embossing pen that the puff-up 
-> powder didn't stick to...so it can't be that. 
 
 Since I do not use an embossing pen I can't speak to that but I do use and
embossing ink that is in a "bingo dauber" type of bottle.  I find using this
on a stamp works well with the puff-ups also I have taken a small paint
brush and stroked on the embossing ink in areas that were real small and that 
I
wanted to fill in for accents... to date I have not had any trouble with the
puff ups sticking to the paper using these techniques...  I am just
wondering if I am getting more ink on the paper than you might be with the 
embossing
pen...  
 
 Anyone else having difficulty or good results with these..??? 
  
-> Just thought I would ask. Other than that I absolutely 
-> love my colors!  And am looking forward to using the ones 
-> that I haven't tried yet.  I loved the way black lame' 
-> looked on my cloud! 
 
  Like you, I love the Black Lame' it is just stunning... I have not had
all the time yet to play with all the goodies either...  But I am getting
closer all the time!  
  I have been working on some quilting as well as some Pergamano pieces
here as of late... as well as taking advantage of these warm days we have 
een
having here... they won't be here all that much longer ...
