Die Cutting Paper: Textured Impression Brayer Technique
There are lots of ways to use Textured Impressions but I thought I would show you one that’s just a bit unique. This process allows one to have more than a monochromatic look. For best results with this technique, select a Textured Impression that has a fairly busy design and is continuous across the entire folder.
