STEP 2: Place masking tape on the stencil mask(this is to line the design and outline the masked area where the dandelion will be embossed). If satisfied with the placement, remove the silhouette stencil but leave the mask and the pattern as shown in the pictures. Place masking tape to secure stencils to the parchment paper. Place embossing mat under parchment paper and emboss design of the patterned stencil.
