Step by step

1. 

   Line up the first numbered stencil at the edge of your white card blank. Apply gold ink through the stencil using an ink pad, dabbing gently to transfer the metallic colour.

2. 

   Position the second stencil over your card and apply the same gold ink using the blending tool. Press firmly to build up dimension and create a layered effect.

3. 

   Apply the third stencil layer using gold ink and a blending tool. Press down firmly to create light and shade effects on the shoe design.

   Die-cut the shoe shape using the die-cutting machine with the fat plate on the bottom and thin plate on top. Feed the layered sandwich through the machine to cut out the green shoe design.

6. 

   Line up the die-cut green shoe with the embossing folder, ensuring the shoe aligns properly within the folder before running through the machine.

   ▶ watch this step (32:15)
7. 

   Run the shoe through the die-cutting machine with the embossing folder to add three-dimensional texture and stitching detail to the surface.

   ▶ watch this step (32:45)

   Mount the finished lime green embossed shoe onto your card base. Position it centrally, leaving white space around the shoe to create a border that highlights the focal point.

Tips from the show

• Don't worry if stencilling is a bit splodgy or textured—you have more layers to build up and will die-cut it anyway
• Line up embossing one element at a time to prevent the artwork moving and being ruined
• Use white space around your finished focal point to amplify its beauty and create a professional look
