Having a few supplies and an embossing heat tool can transform a plain piece of paper to a gorgeous piece of paper. Embossing power comes in a great variety of colors.
Supplies to have on hand:
Embossing heat tool

Embossing ink
Soft paint brush

I used my Sizzix and cut two sizes of hearts
and stamped the hearts using Inkadinkado Bold Damasks clear stamp and Stampabilities Polka Dot Background with embossing ink.

Sprinkle a layer of embossing power on freshly stamped heart. Tap excess power off and use a soft paint brush to remove excess.
Using embossing heat tool, carefully heat paper following manufacturers directions. This melts the power and adheres it to the paper. I continued stamping the paper till I had the desired results. I layered the heats and added flower embellishments.
