From the foil attempt I did through the laminate, it gave me a decent idea of how the stamp would look/print on the book itself. I realised that the detail would not pick up sufficiently unless I tampered with it. I was also going to spend more time developing the decor, but I need to send it off to get cut by tomorrow, and besides, I really like it and the feedback from crit/out of crit has been incredibly positive!
So I fiddled with some minor issues to make the design clearer and more effective in terms of outcome.
CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS COME TO FRUITION!
