Embossing powder is plastic (usually nylon) that has been ground very finely. This plastic powder will melt when heated. You shake embossing powder over a stamped image (stamped with pigment or embossing ink) and then shake the excess off. You then heat until the plastic powder has melted onto your image. Use of a heat tool is recommended.
