July Calliarts - Embossing with Valerie

 Dear Members and Followers,

This month we take a break from our lettering and take out some embossing tools instead.

The Cambridge Dictionary describes embossing as:

"To decorate an objectespecially with letters, using special tools that make a raised mark on its surface"

This will be a fun way to spend a Winter's afternoon following our Christmas in July lunch.

  • A4 pad,
