How to add a delightful embossed layer

Here's a fun This Little Piggy thank you card idea that has a delightful embossed layer as an extra detail. The Petal Pair embossing folders are a pack of two folders, one leaves (seen below) and the other floral in nature. 

The stamp set is quite fun and a bit unusual for a thank you card - think outside the box when crafting and try sets that are not normally used for a thank you theme like this one.
