Peacock Embossed Vellum and Cardstock Layered Card

A project from our live show CATCH UP on Fridays Launch WOW LETS CREATE broadcast from the HTCN studio 15th Oct 21 · 15/10/2021

Create a stunning layered card using heat embossing with peacock stamps on both vellum and cardstock. The design features contrasting ink colours—a deep ocean blue on cardstock and a teal with gold on vellum—layered together to create a gorgeous dimensional effect with beautiful sparkle.
