CC388, Golden Dreams

Photo Details
Poster: bigfootbecky

 The colour challenge today was to use Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Night of Navy. I used similar Distressed Inks because they blend better for sponging. I usually stamp the Japanese lady in black. For today's challenge, that would blend in with the dark blue. So, I heat-embossed the image in gold and sponged around it with the blue inks.

This silhouette stamp is my favourite from the Dream Gardens set. I haven't even inked some of the other stamps from that set - that's on my "to do" list. TFL!

This is sensational. I love her embossed in gold. Too funny about you not having used all the stamps.....I made reference to that in my 2 cc cards! Trying to be better.

This is amazing! I love your use of the colors, and the silhouette in gold is gorgeous. Lovely clean card for a lovely clean image. Know what you mean about the "other" stamps in a set...so many stamps, so little time. Beautiful card, TFS.

That gold embossing really ramps this card up a couple of notches. Very pretty!
