Steps:1. Impress top curve of design, solid dots, chisel lines, frame and flower placement to tin (figure A).

6. Punch small dots with prick punch and large dots with 3/32-inch punch. Punch chisel designs.
7. Transfer chisel designs. Transfer open circles and lines to back of tin. Prick punch dimples and punch screwdriver lines.
8. Transfer edging lines to back of frame. Emboss lines with stylus and 1/8-inch circle on each scallop (figure E).
9. Add dimension to frame by rubbing sculpting tool on back of foil. Fill indentations with hot glue.
