Layered Floral Stamped Card with Heat-Embossed Panels

A project from our live show CREATE TOGETHER CLUB - Show 2 - Join Toni - Broadcast 29th March 22 · 29/03/2022

Create a striking card by heat-embossing a floral stamp in white onto multiple coloured cardstock pieces, then cutting them into strips and layering them to create a rainbow effect. The repeated pattern aligns perfectly to create a continuous design across the card front.
