Embossing: Impressing an Image

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Elizabeth and on behalf of Expert Village, we’re continuing in our series of using embossing your card making. In this segment, we’re going to talk about how to impress an image into an embossed surface. On this card I have already embossed 2 heart images. What I’m going to do is take this square solid stamp. I’m going to ink it up so it’s well inked. I’m going to apply it right here. Then I’m going to sprinkle on my silver embossing powder and tap it off. And then heat emboss. While that is still wet, we want to put more embossing powder on here. Tap it off. We want to make sure we’ve got a clean line here. I’m going to just brush some of this away. If that happens, if you’ve got a small paintbrush handy, it’s a great tool to have when you’re embossing to help clean up edges. We’re going to emboss this again. And then again, and we’re going to keep going adding more embossing powder and more layers to this. We’re going to do about 5-6 layers. Just continuing to heat and emboss, heat and emboss. "
