Create a simple yet striking card featuring an embossed oak slice die-cut on cream cardstock. The design showcases beautiful natural wood grain and ring textures with a subtle embossed finish. This project demonstrates how a single focal element can create instant visual impact with minimal embellishment.
Die-cut the oak slice from craft or cream cardstock using the Oak Slices die. This creates the wood grain background element for your card.
