Today I’m sharing a hack that I don’t do very often, but a few people left comments on a recent coloring video of mine, and reminded me of this hack to help you stay it the lines.
The hack? Emboss your stamped images with clear powder.
The controversy? Embossing can potentially be harmful to the nibs of a marker (such as Copic). However, I have done some digging and it sounds like colored embossing powders may pose more of a risk due to their pigments, than clear. All I know is that it helped me stay in the lines!
Check out my video:
Honestly, for the amount I color, this may not harm my markers at all. I’m curious to know what you think about this, especially if you are a seasoned alcohol marker user!
I mean, it REALLY did work for me!

It takes a little longer, but this is the only way I color now, embossing first. I still get out of the lines now and then but much less!
