Chrissie has used to great effect a method of embossing call Letterpressing where you ink the stencil and then emboss it.
If you would like to see more of this technique check out this link: http://stamptv.ning.com/video/letterpress-with
TIP: Dye (Momento/Adirondack) inks are waterbased and easier to clean from the stencil. It also dries straight away on your card, with pigment ink you will need to wait for it to dry on your image before you can use it.
Final episode tomorrow......think you have all be patient enough!

Hi! Don't know if you watch Create and Craft tv/Ideal World (?!!) but Once Upon A Stamp have introduced a new style "tan mat" which is thicker and cuts out the need for shims. They even embossed a piece of copy paper with it! Hope this helps! Regards Anne
