Showcase: Make a Wish Card

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. A beautiful card created by Gloria Stengel highlighting the true beauty of the paper used.
