Tips from the show

• You can stamp first and then emboss, or emboss first and then stamp—both methods work equally well.
• Watercolour card has texture on one side and is smooth on the other, so you can experiment with different surfaces.
• If you push the embossed design down too far, you can run it back through the folder to bring it back to the top.
