Embossed letters on my (very old) manual pencil sharpener.

Day 60 of my 366 Project
Reposted from 2011 with a new scan:
Where it was postmarked is illegible, but it was mailed to an address in Hanover, Indiana. This card is embossed, with the embossing coming through the verso side. Beautiful penmanship even with the embossing.
I thought that ToniItality's embossed cakes and cookies were so beautiful, that I asked her about how to do them. She very, VERY kindly gave me loads of advice and information....but I just couldn't wait for my new embossing things to arrive, so I used some old things I had while I'm waiting!
For the #MacroMondays theme for 2/12, we have been tasked with presenting anachronisms- old fashioned artifacts. Embossing pages with a stamp or creating book plates seems to fit the bill. These days if readers keep track of their actual books, it’s probably done digitally or on kindles.
Later I’ll post a picture of the embossing tool.
Hi all! I really really really like the whole doilies thing that is in style now (plus it's so cheap!) But I have had a hard time coming up with ways to use them! Than I thought of embossing the Blooming Meadow on it and was so pleased that it worked out! :>
I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
For a birthday girl to be put with other cupcakes......they still have to have their black & white ribbons put one!! ( I didn't geta good photo of them with those on...rushed)
