Then I used Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Blocks die to cut the embossed into little pieces and attached them on the match white postage die cut (from Waffle Flower's Postage Collage die). I die cut "hugs" (from Altenew's Simple Greetings die set) with black and cobalt blue cardstock. Finish the card by arranging the postage die cut and hugs die on the background.
