• Place a 16cm square sheet of pale green cardstock inside a leaf pattern embossing folder and close. Place the folder between the B and C plates and lay onto the base plate.
• Check the carriage is at either end of the machine. Adjust the rollers to the lower end of the recommended 5 – 8 settings for a deep, crisp impression. Turn the handle to move the rollers over the stack of plates to the other end.
• Remove the cardstock from the folder and trim the edges square. Use coloured chalks to tint the raised areas of the pattern by rubbing powder lightly over the surface with a fingertip.
• Mount the tinted panel onto a large square card blank and add a stylish sentiment to the centre.
