Striped Peony Card with Gold Overlay and Drop Shadow

Cut six strips from the black and white striped paper pad to use as your background elements.

Apply glue to the back of each striped piece, leaving a tiny gap to create a black drop shadow underneath.

Layer the gold-covered strips over the black and white stripes, aligning them carefully to show the black lines as a shadow effect.

Trim the edges of the layered strips with scissors to create clean lines.

Stamp and heat-emboss the peony design onto the prepared background.

Die-cut the peony design using the coordinating outline die.

Apply foam pads around the top and right side of the die-cut design to create dimension.

Adhere the padded peony design to the card base, positioning it to overlap the striped background.

Apply clear glitter sparkle pens to the flowers for added embellishment.

Mount the card onto a pink folding note card base.
