Create a versatile scene-setter card by embossing a sunburst or snowburst pattern, sanding back the raised areas to reveal white underneath, then adding gold ink for a luxurious finish. This technique produces an elegant purple and gold card with a shimmering, dimensional effect. The embossed design creates a stunning backdrop perfect for layering sentiments or using as a standalone statement piece.
Run your card stock through your die-cutting machine with the sunburst embossing folder to create the raised pattern on the pink metallic card.
