Create an elegant card featuring embossed heritage paper in a rich olive green shade. The design showcases a delicate floral motif with raised details that are highlighted to create depth and dimension. This sophisticated technique combines embossing with selective ink application to produce a vintage-inspired card perfect for special occasions.
1Select a dark green cardstock from the heritage paper collection. Place it into the embossing folder with the raised side of the design facing upwards.
2Run the dark green cardstock and embossing folder through your die-cutting machine using the appropriate plates to create the embossed pattern.
3Remove the dark green cardstock from the embossing folder to reveal the embossed floral design.
4Using a white ink pad, gently tap it over the embossed floral design on the dark green card to highlight the raised details. Work lightly to catch just the raised surface, creating a subtle contrast against the dark background.
5Apply a gold or metallic wax to the embossed areas by rubbing it on with your finger and buffing to create a highlighted finish. Mount the embossed and highlighted green cardstock panel onto your white card base, ensuring it is centred and secure.
6Add a sentiment or greeting to complete your card. Position it on the card front and adhere in place.
