Embossing is a very easy way to add a decorative touch to any surface. Simple supplies: a single layer stencil, joint compound, and a putty knife. If you are embossing a cabinet with a glossy surface, lightly sand the surface before applying the joint compound. Simply position the stencil, tape it to the surface, apply a thin layer of joint compound, and lift off the stencil. Let the pattern dry for twenty-four hours then seal it with a layer of drywall primer. Next you can paint or glaze it any color. This technique can be used on picture frames, mirrors, wall, etc. Happy Creating!
