3. 

   Remove the first stencil and position the second stencil in the same corner of the card. Ensure it is aligned properly before continuing.

   ▶ watch this step (49:00)

11. 

    Adhere the finished embossed piece to a card base using foam pads to add dimension and showcase the 3D embossing effect.

Tips from the show

• The high-definition 3D embossing folders have detail on both the embossed and debossed sides, so examine both.
• You can use just one or two colours throughout all three stencil layers to build intensity rather than changing colours.
• Do not worry about the stencil or stamp going slightly off the edge; this adds to the organic, artistic feel.
