Create a striking winter village card featuring a charming embossed scene in black ink. Using an embossing folder, you'll achieve a beautiful dimensional letterpress effect that showcases a cottage nestled amongst trees. This elegant technique works wonderfully on white card stock, creating a sophisticated monochrome design perfect for the festive season.
Ink up both sides of the winter village embossing folder using the black Distress Ink pad. Apply the ink evenly across the entire surface of both the top and bottom of the folder.
