As Valerie Murphy communicated to Wendy Apgar's starship:
 VM> These puff powders can be difficult sometimes.  You really need lots
 VM> of wet ink.  If you have a pigment pad try it with that and see if it
 VM> works any better.  I have never gotten it to work with an embossing
 VM> pen. I've been having some trouble myself, but I think it has to do
 VM> with my clear embossing pads because they work fine with the colored
 VM> pads. I'm hoping to get a dauber like Julia uses if she can tell me
 VM> where to find one.  Don't give up on the powders they are so great. 
 VM> Just use LOTS of pigment ink.
 I'll try it again as soon as I figure out something else,
 besides clouds (I don't have any stamps with clouds on
 them) that I can use the grey puff embossing powders with.
 I love all the other powders that came with the package!
 VM> I haven't tried the black lame' yet.  How did you use it on your
 VM> cloud? 
 
 I used my embossing pen and sprinkled the black lame' over 
 it. It made a nice black cloud with bits of cold sprinkled
 through it and it looked really neat!
 The gold in the cloud...the silver lining so to speak.
