When I heat emboss with black embossing powder I always end up with black flecks on my card. I use a proper anti static bag from Joanna`s shop and Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I dont have the same problem with any other colour, just black! My friend also had the same problem, she stamped a ladies head and she said it looked like she had a 6 o Clock shadow! lol H E L P!!!!

Have you tried heating it from the other side, so that your heat gun isn't blowing directly onto the powder? That's how I would normally do it with black powder. Hope that helps, Ros

I have managed to get clean results using black ink and clear embosing powder. Carol x
