Question Recessed Stamping

Has anyone heard of this technique?
A customer has, and was wondering if I knew it- I don't! She couldn't describe it. The closest thing I could think of is that perhaps it uses a bold stamp with the design "cut in" to it- like the hostess set Reverse Prints, but that is just a guess.
Does anyone know the directions?

Thanks!
Karen

Might it be the "debossing" techniqe that uses a few layers of embossing powder and stamping with versamark on the still hot / soft ep?

That's what I was thinking, too. Anyone have any other ideas?

Another thing I have heard of it to wet your cardstock and then place your stamp on top of it and step on it (yes step on it!). It'll leave an impression on the paper.

She couldn't give you any ideas how it worked or even what it looked like? There are so many things with different names that it's hard to guess what she's talking about :(

Nope! Just that she'd heard of this!
Mind you, we were so busy chatting about other stuff too, that I never asked her further before she left!
I'll see if any of these ring a bell for her.

Hi Heather,
Thanks for the idea! I'll run it past my customer.
Where are you in NS?

hi maybe she was referring to reverse spotlighting? where you stamp an image, then punch a hole out of it, then have part of the image stamped in color down below in the hole? Ill search the gallery for an example, my description is pretty pathetic, i know. lol
