Instructions
1. Stamp small nautilus in platinum along top and bottom edges of card front.
2. Stamp large nautilus in black permanent ink on aluminum. Heat set.
3. Place aluminum piece on foam pad or old magazine. Using stylus and applying medium pressure, emboss image by tracing over stamped lines.
4. Turn piece over and emboss back side, using stylus on areas not embossed on front side. This step will "pop out" the image, giving it added dimension.
5. Use the Stylus to create a random or textured background around the stamped image. Lines, squiggles or wavy lines all produce good background texture.
6. Color stamped image in with Sharpie markers.
7. Glue cardstock pieces to card front with double stick tape.
8. Attach embossed piece to front of card.
