[.ca] The Art of Stencil Embossing (ISBN 085532841X)

The Art of Stencil Embossing..:
This small instruction book (48 pages) is packed with information and color photos to show the detail work involved in embossing paper. The author includes information about tools and materials required and beginning as well as advanced techniques for creating beautiful works of embossed art. While there are not a large number of books on this topic, this one is certainly the best I've seen and read. Janet Wilson shows how to combine stencils to create truly original pictures, as well as suggestions for creating frames of embossed images, adding decorative borders, and using fancy papers. Even more impressive are her instructions for embossing on dark colored paper (embossing is usually done on white paper). More advanced techniques include the use of embellishments or embossing on metal. Not only is this an exceptional book for any stencil embossing afficianado, this is an inspiring choice for beginners. If you already stencil emboss, you must own this book! If you've never tried this relaxing hobby, this book will inspire you to try your hand at creating works of elegant beauty. I can't praise this book enough--it's the one I've searched for, and now finally found.
