Thank you all for the comments. You are correct in that the beveler was wrong and not just the angle. I was using the tool in the opposite way I should have been. Instead of sloping outwards from the design I was sloping towards it. Going to practice more carving and beveling. Now, I will dye the carving using a lightened forest green, yet the carving doesn't take dye in the beveled spot which is good. However do I leave that original leather color or find paint or something to fill it. Btw you guys are awesome

So I just started to make a leather vambrace for my step daughter. It's extremely cheap veg tan leather I bought from hobby lobby. I am trying to raise the main feature which is a hummingbird and I'm not sure how to get it to pop. My beveling stamp seems to be really really big and the small detail in the head is killing me both in carving and stamping. This is an extreme rough draft so holes and edges and border are all not properly aligned.
