Embossed Star Stencil on Foil

A project from our live show CATCH UP with the PEARLYWINKS LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 10th Dec 21 · 10/12/2021

Emboss the star precision stencil through foil using a Sizzix machine to create a raised, metallic design. This technique transforms the stencil into an embossing folder, giving you instant texture and detail.
