3D Embossed and Scored Star Embellishment

A project from our live show CATCH UP with the PEARLYWINKS LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 10th Dec 21 · 10/12/2021

Create a dimensional star embellishment by embossing the stencil design, cutting it out, scoring valley and mountain folds, and assembling it into a 3D shape. Add colour with ink pads and embossing powder for a striking effect.
