    Tricks of the Trade

    Rubber stamping - dealing with mistakes on embossing foil
    If you smudge the image then simply wash the ink off of the embossing foil, allow it to dry naturally then start again.

    Rubber stamping - onto embossing foil
    Once you have stamped onto the foil and allow it to cool why not add extra interest by adding a little pressure embossing to the design?
