    Embossing can be done in a lot of different ways, depending on what kind of craft you're thinking of.
    Dry embossing can be done on card, metal, etc with a ballpoint tool or with a machine (variety of sizes available, for home or professional use).
    It can be done freehand or with stencils (again, by hand or in a machine).

    By wet embossing, do you mean with rubber stamps and ink & powder?
    Or you can use plaster with stencils.

    Thanks for your reply, I would be using it mainly for scrapbooking and a bit of card making! Any wet embossing i had heard of was with ink and powder?
