3.    Place the stamped image into the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder and use the Stampin’, Cut and Emboss machine to emboss the image.

4.    Use scissors, a bone folder or your fingernail to rough up the edges of the image and then adhere the image to the card front, leaving room for the sentiment on the upper right side of the card front. Place a copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot in the top center of the image as if it were holding the image to the cork board.
