Step by step

1. 

   Stamp the solid portion of the floral design onto white cardstock using a sticky ink pad. The stamp set includes layering stamps - use the solid base layer first to create the foundation for your floral image.

2. Apply embossing powder to the stamped image and heat set it with a heat tool until the powder becomes glossy and raised. ▶ watch 29:55
3. 

   Once the foiled image has cooled, carefully line up the outline stamp over the embossed solid portion. Stamp the outline in black ink to create a defined edge around the coloured floral design.

4. 

   Apply foiling to the stamped outline instead of heat embossing. Press the foil onto the stamped image to create a metallic finish on the outline details. Carefully peel away the foil to reveal the shimmering design.

5. 

   Mount your finished foiled and embossed design onto your card base. The wine bottle and glass design with 'Let's celebrate' sentiment is now complete with beautiful pink and purple watercolour effects.
