Title: Useing Stamps and ink pads
Post by: iness on March 20, 2006, 08:43:52 PM

Would like tips on stamping. As I'm rubbish at this .
When I use a heat gun  "I set the world on fire".
Help is needed to put out the flames. Hope I've written my message ok, first time for every thing. Nice talking to you all. Night Night. :P

Please don't come too close to the puter with your heat gun and set the forum up in flames!!! ;D

Sounds like you are holding you heat gun too near to your work?  Start off about 6 - 8 inches away and get nearer as you feel the need.  As soon as you see the powder changing you are obviously near enough so move to the next area.  I think we have probably all had problems when we first started but trial and error gets you there in the end.  Anything else you need to know, just shout there will be someone passing by that can help I'm sure.

By the way, you message is just fine.[/color]
Barb ;D
