And the time of placing and weeding versus engraving away all that material.
Some comments by people doing that for leather stamping indicate that acrylic is not the most durable, but almost certainly depends on all of the specifics involved.

I’ve got a little Delrin and I did make some wax seal stamps with it (worked great!). But what I’m afraid of with Delrin and also with acrylic is that the ink might bead up on the surface. At least I’m pretty sure the ink I used would. Maybe not the kind of ink they use for screen printing and letterpress–haven’t tried that.

Letterpress and screenprinting inks are oil based and pretty “sticky”, work wonderfully with nonporous surfaces (like metal type). Really fun to play with, kinda buttery.

I love this idea!!!
I would say I am going to try it, but I dont think i would be patient enough.
I do love my big shot so I might have to try. 
That is SUCH a great idea. Thank you for posting, I never would have thought of it!
Too pretty to be a card. How about an ornament? This is way out of my skill set for now.
I have been working on a project that would repossee thin (4 oz) soft copper from a deep 3d engraved relief. Looking on Google the closest I could find was this antique Tibetan piece but it gets the general idea.
I was wondering if your process might work out better than mine

I get a Forbidden when I attempt to follow that link.
The Big Shot is often used with embossing folders and thin metal; you should look into it!
