I used several products....

The acrylic sheet is from Hambly....they are called Clearly Heavy Overlays...and come in a 12x12 sheet.

The embossing powder I used was Distress Embossing Powder by Ranger Ink (it is part of the Tim Holtz distress inks and powders line of product).

Hope this helps.

Awesome series. Thank you so much. I've done heat embossing on acrylic in the past. I made a huge mistake on one piece and thought I'd botched it up forever. Rubbing alcohol is a constant companion of mine, so I put some on a cotton ball and rubbed the embossed mess. It all came right off and I could start over.

This is totally awesome with all the layers. Thank you for sharing this information.
