-Adding color to the Embossing Paste is easy. Scoop out a small amount using a palette knife and place on a Silicone Craft Sheet. Add a drop or two of reinker and mix with the knife.
-Apply the Embossing Paste using a palette knife. It's kind of like spreading frosting on a cake.
-The thicker you apply, the longer it will take to dry. But even so, it doesn't take long.
-Be sure to wash off the embossing paste with warm water from your mask, palette knife, and work surface as soon as you are finished with it. It dries quick.
-Also, be sure to put the lid back on the jar of embossing paste and seal tightly, so it doesn't dry out in the jar. I have also added a piece of cling wrap to the top of the jar, sealing it with the lid.
