A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT TV - Join Toni for her brand new SBM launch show 2 - broadcast 2nd Jan 2024 · 02/01/2024 · watch it from 45:00
Create a romantic card featuring an ornate Abbey design embossed onto soft pink vellum with artfully torn edges. The delicate embossed vellum is layered over vintage Parisian scenes to create beautiful depth and dimension. This elegant project uses embossing and layering techniques to achieve a sophisticated, parchment-like finish perfect for special occasions.
Place the pink-toned vellum with script detail into the Abbey embossing folder.
