Embosssing

Lynne has picked the fun theme of Embossing: Heat or Dry for Allsorts challenge:

 My card:


 I started with a scrap piece of gold card stock and picked out a 3D embossing folder: 
Secret Garden by Gemini, that I had not used before. I went with a bright paper, 
smooshing on some gold pigment ink. My flower is from a new Penny Black
set: finest petals-I decided to emboss it in gold to keep with the embossing theme,
and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut out a white and a vellum oval (the vellum 
has a faint gold design on it to ground my image.  The Happy Birthday is a sticker placed 
on leftover gold card stock. And of course a few gold gems to complete my card.
 See what my teammates created and join the fun at Allsorts Challenge.

Love the rich gold of the embossed panel and then the delicate gold around the flower, it's a very striking design.

It's lovely Donna, the contrast of rich gold against the subtle pink bloom with the hint of gold around the edges all works together beautifully.

Your gold embossed panel looks stunning with its rich texture, and the delicate flower and vellum oval add a lovely softness that balances the bold shine beautifully.
