Embossing using Card

In a previous video we have shown blind embossing using cut lino. Here we're just using different types of card to create a beautiful textured print.

In highschool one of our teachers made us "good luck" cards for a production we were putting on, using this technique. It was so thoughtful of him and I've always loved this idea. He actually used rice grains and all kinds of "bits and bobs" to make the cards.

That sounds lovely!

I don't have access to a press like yours. Would this work with a die cutting machine such as my Bigshot?

[@Handprinteduk]

Yes die cutting machines can work well

Is there a way to use this technique if you also need to print Also? I know you said you’d usually need to soak the paper but is there a way to avoid this so you can add color to a design? Sorry if this has already been answered ❤
