3ntin Report post Posted September 29, 2013 Hi to all! Ok, the title is not of the best, but I had no other words to explain my problem... That's simple: I would like to obtain decorations similar to the border on this purse: http://www.leofficinecreative.com/la_bottega_itinerante/img_cuoio/borse/borsa_cuoio_26.jpg and, generally speaking, how to achieve a similar result, with decorations lighter than leather's color, without using leather colors...is it possible? Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
