i found these mechancical colouring pencils in a pound shop! the embossing powder has holographic glitter in it (they need embossing or the cheap pencil scratches off)
i just bought a tub of embossing powder! never used it before! i just sprinkled it on after i'd baked the shrinkle and shoved it backj in oven till melted. (kinda kept oven door open to check - if you leave too long the black pen lines melt and fuzz) didn't bother buying any clear ink or whatever to use first. cost about £3.50 from hobbycraft - i was gonna buy some overpriced glittery gel pens but don't think i need to bother now. yay!

That is awesome, how did you manage to get the colour so deep and so sparkly?

This is ace, I really love it. I'm looking forward to making my own shrink plastic creations. Have to keep my eye out for cheap colouring pencils now.
Can you use any embossing powder or do you have to get the heat it up ones?
