I wanted to really think outside the box with this de-bossing technique because I REALLY LIKE IT! So I decided to do the de-bossing outside the stamped image and then color the shapes in to recreate a quilted type of surface. I made the de-bossing score marks right on my paper cutter with the scoring blade so they would be straight. I colored them in with markers around the edges then used a blender pen to bring the color to the center. The rest of the verse "without underwire" is inside the card. The whole piece in held on the card with glue under the corner punches. I think I'll so several more like this, it's striking in RL!
