A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT SHOW 6TH JAN 2023 - Join Toni for her brand new launch! · 06/01/2023 · watch it from 54:45
Create a sophisticated, moody card by applying white pigment ink highlights to black cardstock, then emboss with a high-definition 3D heart design. The dramatic contrast between the white ink and black background creates an atmospheric, elegant effect perfect for special occasions. This project combines simple stamping techniques with dimensional embossing for a striking contemporary finish.
Take a piece of black cardstock as your base. This will form the foundation of your card.
