Dry Embossing - Securing Your Stencil

Select any stencil with deeper grooves such as one made out of brass or cardboard. Using a few little pieces of masking tape, secure the stencil to the center of your light box. Instead of a light box, you can tape your stencil to a bright window. When taping down your stencil, remember the side of the stencil you want facing up should be the reverse of what your finished design will have. This especially important when dry embossing any lettering.
