A project from our live show STUDIO 3 - Industry News from Toni Darroch LIVE - broadcast 24th March 22 · 24/03/2022

Create a beautiful card featuring layered pansy flowers with a faux embossed background that mimics the look of an embossing folder without needing one. The card combines dimensional flowers with a textured background for an elegant, professional finish.
