Hand embossing (as opposed to embossing with a letterpress or with powders and potions and heat tools) involves cutting a series of stencils and carefully making an impression of each around the other with a stylus, one at a time. A certain three-dimensionality can be achieved with this method above and beyond that that other types of embossing are able to convey.
