yea i see your idea, it does look like it has been painted/dyed though right, i have seen another example of this but cant seem to find the photo, could always color neutral antique finish to get something a bit similar.
How is something like this done? In particular the two toned colours on the embossing, my guess is dye then emboss then use a flat roller to paint just the tops?
Also where's the best place to get custom leather embossing rollers? I know about Sergey at Leather Stamp Tools. Thanks everyone!
