Tips from the show

• The stencil fits beautifully on top of the embossing folder to guide your colour placement.
• You don't have to colour the design; stamping in black ink alone creates a beautiful, detailed result.
• The HD 3D embossing creates layers and depth in the lines and detail, making clouds appear three-dimensional.
