Add some whimsy to your next card design and emboss a vellum butterfly!
Today’s whimsical design is from our designer, Kassie, who said, “I love creating butterfly wings with metallic embossing powder and watercolors on vellum. It creates a beautiful stained glass look with very little effort!” She’s so right; this card feels “NEXT LEVEL” with that embossed velum and we love it!
