Create a striking card featuring beautiful floral imagery with a dalon-style effect. This technique involves inking an embossing folder directly and transferring the embossed pattern onto card stock, producing rich colours with delicate embossed detail showing through. The finished card showcases roses and foliage in soft greens and pinks with an elegant vintage aesthetic.
Cut your card stock to approximately 5 by 7 inches using a trimmer and cutting mat with grid lines for accurate measurements.
