After doing so many seashells in black, I decided to see how they'd look embossed in gold or bronze. The card layouts are pretty much the same as my previously-posted black & white/ivory seashell cards, but the gold gives them a different feel.
I learned an important lesson while using the embossing folder on this gold metallic paper...if the paper has a white core, the white will be exposed and look like little cracks through the gold.
