They originally started with one color, Clear. Now, they have created over 100 powders to choose from ranging in finishes from shiny to metallic to puffy to texturized to glitzy. All of Ranger’s Embossing Powders are non-toxic and acid free for use in Memory Albums and Photo Journals. They can be used over any type of water-based ink including dye, pigment and embossing inks.
