Patent ID: 8206523

Claim:
A process for creating a multi-shade design, on an at least partially-transparent substrate, said substrate having a first surface and a second surface, comprising: a template-preparing step comprising providing a template, said template being a design that provides for at least two design regions, on said substrate second surface; a first design-film-applying step of applying a first design film to said substrate first surface over at least two of said design regions; a first design-carving step of carving said first design film according to said template; at least one subsequent design-film-applying step of applying at least one subsequent design film to said substrate first surface over at least one said design region, wherein said subsequent design film at least partially overlaps said first design film at said at least one said design region; at least one subsequent design-carving step of carving said at least one subsequent design film according to said template wherein at least a portion of said at least one subsequent design film continues to overlap said at least one said design region thereby creating at least one shaded design region in relation to at least one less-shaded design region.
