How to Emboss with Dies (Not Cut!) + Metallic Oxide Technique

In this tutorial, I'm sharing how to emboss with dies using the new Seth Apter Sizzix Stackers die set from his latest release. I'm also sharing a Metallic Oxide technique that creates a cool silver, aged metal background inspired by a technique shared by Vicki Evans. I then finished this Wicked Halloween card with papers and ephemera from my Ashgrave Archive collection and a couple of Halloween dies from Tim Holtz.
