Raised in relief after making mess in bog (9)

I believe the answer is:

embossing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raised in relief' is the definition.
'embossing' can be an answer for 'relief' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'raised in' bit.

'making mess in bog' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates an anagram.
'mess'+'in'+'bog'='messinbog'
'messinbog' with letters rearranged gives 'EMBOSSING'.

'after' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
