Light Embossing : Using a brass embossing stencil on suitable cardstock, tape the brass embossing template to the right side of the cardstock and lay it face down on a light source (Light Box) so you can see the image of the template through the paper. Proceed to rub the back surface of the paper with wax paper and then trace the design with a metal stylus. The waxed paper will allow your stylus to glide along. The paper is then raised or lowered to show the design of the brass template. You will need paper that has a white core or the light will not show through. Using colored paper with white core, it is very effective to rub an emery board flat across the finished embossing which will result in the top surface of the colored paper being sanded away and reveal the white core to define the image. We carry a wide design selection of brass embossing stencils from Lasting Impressions and Dreamweaver Stencils for both card making and scrapbooking projects.

Paste Embossing : Special embossing paste can also be used with the brass embossing templates to create a raised image. Embossing Paste is applied over the brass embossing stencil and wiped back to leave the paste in the image areas only. Embossing Paste is available in clear (translucent), pearl translucent, opaque white, glossy white, blue, red, green, matte black, yellow and orange and gold, silver and copper metallic colors.
