Red card base 11¼" x 4½", score in half. Blue matte 5½" x 4¼", white base 5½" x 4¼" this will trim down more after its embossed.
2. Stamp & Emboss
Stamp lady liberty in center of white cardstock (embossing powder would look great on this too).

Place in embossing folder and place diffuser on top of embossing folder.


Place the folder on top of white cutting mat and one clear shim.

Run through Big Shot. Remove from folder and lightly ink embossed design with contrasting ink.

Trim edges to 5¼ x 4 inches. Glue embossed design to blue cardstock and then to card base.
3. Finish

This card looks difficult but is really quick to put together. You can also put the cut out portion of the diffuser under the embossing folder to raise just that portion.
