Create an elegant invitation card featuring a romantic Parisian street scene in soft watercolour tones of pink, grey and lavender. The design showcases a nested card insert with an embossed easel frame, perfect for adding a personal message or photograph. This project combines embossing techniques with layered cardmaking to produce a sophisticated, interactive piece.
Place the pink card stock into the Jasper embossing folder and run it through your die-cutting machine to emboss the design onto the card.
