The same glasses were stamped onto scrap pieces of Full of life dsp. I cut off about ⅛” from the top of the glass and trimmed around each glass as close to the stamped line as possible and adhered each piece to the corresponding die cut white glass. I embossed the taller glass using the embossing die from the same die.
