I had embossed some images on watercolor paper. I had put them aside after embossing them, and then went to use my watercolor pencils. The embossed area, was now being erased , it was now showing just the stamped image. Has this happened to anyone else? I don't have this problem with cardstock. Any suggestions?

I don't think that I've ever embossed on watercolor paper, but I'm wondering if it's more porous than regular cardstock? Perhaps it just absorbed the extra embossing ink. That's just a guess!

I do not have watercolor paper either, but this has happened to me before on regular CS. Try heating the powder less...heat until it melts, but then quickly back off.

Something I do sometimes when I have an issue like this is heat from the bottom side instead of the top, I seem to get a more even look and it is easier to control how hot it gets.
