Dry Embossing Technique

In this technique you can add that little flair to all your projects by
embossing on your cardstock. All you need i a light board, a metal
embossing plate and a stylus. Lightly secure your embossing llate to the light board with tape. Then after running wax paper on your cardstock, use your stylus to add dimension to your card.

When dry embossing a large open area, press only around the edges of the template, not the entire open area.
If a colored raised image is desired, replace the brass template on the raised side of the card stock. It will act as a mask to protect the un-raised surfaces. Apply color from ink pads or Stampin' Pastels using a small sponge or sponge dauber.

  1. This looks so cool on cards. I wish I had room for a light table, but at least I can get some satisfaction with the big shot!
