During this beginner to intermediate level tutorial we will create this lovely embossing effect (Thank you for the suggestion Elena!). We will use a photo of a butterfly as a base, since this tutorial is about how to create the embossing effect and not about sketching.

The canvas we'll be working on is: 3500 x 3500

Have fun playing around with this effect!

I'm brand new here and was wondering where I could find the flotastic brushes you use in this video? I am watched your content during hard personal times and you helped me sooo much! A sincerest Thank you Ms.Flo!

Hi Flo, Thanks a lot for teaching the embossing effect! I enjoyed the tutorial very much. But as soon as I flattened the group, everything changed to white instead of remaining dark. I tried again and again with no success. What went wrong? Looking forward to hearing from you! Luitgard

I'm happy you enjoyed it! Are you sure you have a gray layer at the bottom when you merge the layers?
