White-on-White Faux Embossed Peony Background Card

A project from our live show CATCH UP with the Friday Frenzy - BUY 3 SAVE 40% ON SELECTED THIRSTY BRUSH PRODUCTS 22nd Oct 21 · 22/10/2021

Create the appearance of an embossing folder by die-cutting a large peony design multiple times and layering the pieces onto white cardstock. This technique gives a dimensional, embossed look without needing an actual embossing folder.
