Embossing is the art of embellishing by creating a raised surface by melting powder resins. Ranger was the first to bring embossing to the rubber stamper in 1980. There is a whole variety of colours to choose from ranging in finishes from shiny to metallic to puffy to texturized to glitzy. All of Ranger's Embossing Powders are non-toxic and acid free for use in Memory Albums and Photo Journals. They can be used over any type of water-based ink including dye, pigment and embossing inks.
