Make an Impression!

A mini workshop with Joan Byers and Lorraine Douglas

Embossing is a way of making an impression in relief on paper so that it stands out. Learn two ways of embossing and debossing. The first method uses dry paper embossed by hand and the second is with damp paper on a press. Both perfect for greeting cards, book covers and adding a special new dimension to your art.
