I used stone clay to make an initial letters seal for the lovely couple. I also played around and created a bunch of deals later on using the carving and inverse technique. Whatever you want to be embossed you actually push in let dry and use as a mould to create the seal.
I coated the seal with nailpolish of desired colour. And recoat with transparent nailpolish.
