Embossed Print


These three prints are from cards that i picked up over the summer, they all have a very hand printed feel to them with no final finish to the image or paper but what makes them more profesional looking to me is the embossing technique.

You can really tell with this photograph but this image is so very slightly embossed around the type.


Thos lettering is embossed aswell but the print texhnique is much heavier that a normal print and so the type is a different quality than the paper, this, i think, is done with woodblock print.



You can see really clearly here that the cars are embossed aswell as printed onto, for me it makes the card more interesting, it makes me want to touch it at least. the reverse side of this card was gorgeous aswell, it had been debossed but no ink printed so was white on white image.
