| Instructions: This technique is easiest when you have a light table, but if you do not have one, you can use a window with the sun shining through or a glass top table with a light underneath. | ||||
|
|
Lay your cardstock over your template on top of the light table. You will be able to see the template through the cardstock. If you chose a dark color cardstock, you will not be able to see through it, but you will be able to feel the edge of the template. | |||
 |
Use a stylus tool to rub along the edge of the template. You only need to do the edge of the image. If you are embossing a large flower, the center does not need to be "rubbed" with the stylus tool. | |||
 |
Here is the finished piece. You can see embossed sections above and below the stamped image. | |||
 |
Don't have a template? You can punch an image out of cardstock and use a temporary adhesive to attach it to the light table. Then use the stylus tool to go around the edges of the punched piece. | |||
 |
This is a close up of the embossed flower. Important tip: With the templates you are pressing down into the cardstock so the pressure is creating the raised portion of the image. The punched pieces are the exact opposite, with the image portion being sunken. Plan accordingly when creating your projects. |
