The challenge today was to use a Cuttlebug or other embossing machine to make a negative of the embossing the plate. I donÂ’t own any embossing machines so I used what I do have.
Remember those brass plates and light boxes used to raise the surface of an image? I used one of those instead of a Cuttlebug etc. The brass plate worked just fine.
I brayered the brass plate with ink, carefully turned it over on my white card stock, taped it down, turned the card stock over on to my light table and dry embossed the image. I then peeled off the tape and voila, my negative dry embossed result. It worked out really well. It was a great challenge. For those of us without the Cuttlebug etc. it really was a challenge.

It DID work very well. Thanks for showing that. My mind said that it would smear or slip and slide but this shows differently. Great information. Great card. I love the softness.
