I know a this is an old thread but I figured I would pass it on.  There in a place in central Texas, Makers Leather Supply.  They are putting out “Pattern Rubs” pretty reasonable.  Most are production artwork, but for money of coarse they do custom ones.   

Here is their website but if you want one of these I would give them a call http://makersleathersupply.com/

I have been looking at this as well, i ended up using a cricut dye cutter and some thin polysyrene? i think, i used the deep cut blade and cut a mirror image into the plastic then used it just like the craftaid rubbing the back onto cased leather with a smooth stylus.  I'll post pics and specs if anyone is interested.  I added a comparison pic, the top was using the etching tool and bottom using the deep cut blade.  The upload limit prevented a good quality res photo, but if you zoom in you can see the bottom came out way better.

I'd like more information please. 

When you used the deep cut blade on the plastic, how did you get it to gouge the plastic but keep it from actually cutting?

On the top photo, do you mean you used the stylus to make the impression on the plastic or the leather directly? If directly on the leather, did you wet it first?
