This delicate and elegant technique, which originated in Spain, involves translucent paper with a design that is embossed, or marked with hundreds of tiny perforations made with special handtools, or both. Designs can be made even more elaborate through the addition of punched-out and layered decorative elements of the same material, such as flowers, articles of clothing, etc. In some cases, hand painting and embroidery are also incorporated to give a very rich overall effect. These cards are truly amazing.
Each card comes with a loose insert. You can either handwrite your own message, or run the insert through a printer to write a message using your computer. When finished, you can tack the insert to the card using a glue stick.
