Embossing with Layering Stencilsby Richele Christensen

Dry embossing a stencil design creates a perfectly raised surface for sanding, as Richele Christensen demonstrates on her card. Try dry embossing a stencil design into Kraft-Core cardstock, and then sanding off the top layer, or try inking the raised surface to make it stand out. What a great way to add a subtle, vintage background to a card.
