The finished project

Create an elegant layered card featuring a heat-embossed decorative brooch positioned within a word die-cut. The brooch is embossed with glittering powder in a contrasting colour, then the word is layered with a drop shadow effect for added dimension and visual interest. This technique combines die-cutting, heat embossing and layering to produce a sophisticated handmade card.
