The elegant shine of the Elan Metallics paper used in this card is brought out in multiple ways. The embossed front plays with the highlights and shadows as light hits the card and the flower gives a complimenting look with a subtle shine from the roughened texture. The three dimensional look of the embossing is enhanced with an extra layer on front achieved with foam tape under the embossed card stock.

At first glance the card makes you want to endulge in a your favorite dessert but after reading it’s clear the card is made to make someone feel just as special as a day at the scoop shop. The beauty is in the details with this card’s die-cutting and embossing accents and combined with the paper color selection it all comes together for a wonderfully sweet theme.

The selection of paper for this card makes it truly unique, combining different metallic papers for a soft elegant luster. The swirl of Constellation Jade Ricco creates a perfect look for the clouds which is highlighted well with the reverse cutout. Finished off with a little bike accent makes you want to make the most of the beautiful days to come.

The soft elegant paper colors used along with the decorative florals enhance the beauty of this elegant photo of a perfect day at the beach.
