Deep embossing is a great way to give dimension to your scrapbooking ideas, it gives the opposite effect that embossing powder gives so the image or wording you stamp is indented rather than raised.

You can purchase specialist deep or 'thick' embossing power from most scrapbook stores and also online scrapbook stores however I find normal embossing powder works just as well if not better and really makes your scrapbooking ideas come to life.

When creating a scrapbook page most crafters will want some form of title on their scrapbook page layout that explains what the page is all about. You may decide to use an actual word that describes the day in question such as birthday, wedding, anniversary or you may choose to have a phrase that describes the emotion such as happy, sad, fun and so on.

Many sculptress do not use armatures. They have the ability to barely touch the clay and others, like myself, can't work without an armature. I always end up smashing a place that I had already finished and it takes me a long time to smooth it. I did some research and found out that there are several armatures nowadays; I will talk about the ones I have used or know they exist:

Resin
Polymer clay
Plaster of Paris
Gesso
Wire
Vinyl
Plastic
Wood
Styrofoam
Aluminum Foil

Out of all these armatures my favorite is foil, but I'll talk a little bit about all of them.

The history and use of church candles goes back many thousands of years and can be traced through many religions across time.

If you want to learn how to draw, you don't just want know how to do "nice" drawings, and you don't want to learn how to copy somebody else's drawings. You want to create great drawings of your very own, don't you?
