Hi everyone!
I was watching create and craft (I think thats what it was) there other morning and that had some powders they used after embossing a stamp ... really loved them, cant remember what they were called, does anyone have any idea??? Think they were mica or something like that? I'm debating about ordering some of them (and not thinking that I would also need a heat gun etc ...)

Think it night be called melt dust tried putting a link but not working. GO tot he create and craft website and search for melt dust I found some that way

I have 24 (and a blender)
I have them all lined out and with some pictures to colour, but I'm so scared of getting started in case I ruin them. Is there a special way to use them?

Thanks everyone for your advice think lol.

Hubby seems to think I should go ahead (when did the aliens come down and take over his body) as he says even if I get some more work we may still not have the money whereas at the moment he has the cash sitting there and we know I can pay him back as whatever happens as I have four more pay days till anything happens.

The trouble is being a control freak and perfectionist the items I would get from Ikea comes to almost as much as what we would have done by the joiner and I wouldn't be happy with what I had.

Shall think some more over the next week or so (I have decided I can save £100 by not replacing the flooring lol so that is some MSE isn't it - where are those spendy Elves when you want them)

So glad they turned up eventually. Just go for it and enjoy the experience but remember there is no turning back now.
