Place doily on a piece of scrap paper, take ink pad and ink entire surface of the doily. Take care to get good coverage on all areas of the doily before going on to the next step. Sprinkle an even coat of embossing powder over doily, tilting and shaking it to get even coverage. Tap off excess embossing powder. Take a heat tool and and move it over the doily until the powder melts. Let it cool for a couple of seconds and your embossed doily is ready to be used for craft projects like the two package ornaments below.
