Embossing

This is the embossing plate i created using the laser cutter which i went on to use to create the examples shown below.

Somerset White

Zerkall 145gsm

 Somerset Satin

 Canaletto Bianco

Watercolor paper 225gsm

I Think the one that turned out best was Zerkall, it produced a sharp design and the type appeared to come through a lot more vividly than the others.  


Wet Water colour paper 25gsm

When using the wet paper i think i wet it too much or didnt get enough of the water out so when it came to embossing it the paper stuck to the wood plate and ripped as shown below. Another reason could be because it was watercolor paper that it soaked up too much water!
