Create an elegant textured card featuring an embossed leather-effect finish in rich olive green tones. This project uses an embossing folder to add beautiful raised dimension to your card stock, combined with decorative elements including nature-themed imagery and delicate floral accents. The technique produces a sophisticated, tactile finish perfect for birthday greetings and special occasions.
Select a piece of coloured card stock from your kit. The card shown here is a dark olive green shade.
