I created the background by adding re-inkers in yellow and orange to my craft sheet and spritzing with water. I dropped my watercolor paper over top and let it soak up some of the color. I dried it and then dipped it again (twice) ... making sure to dry in-between the layers.
I placed a leaf stencil over the watercolor paper, inked it with versamark and heat embossed the leaves in gold. Loved how the paper turned out and cut it up to make two cards (please check out my blog to see the other card).
I die-cut the leafy foliage from chocolate metal and popped it on top. A simple banner sentiment finishes the card.
Accessories: silhouette cameo for cutting leaf stencil, plastic sheet, gold embossing powder, heat tool, add a little dazzle metal sheets, fresh foliage die (memory box)

Wow on your background! That gold embossing looks gorgeous with the deep brown metal die cut! This design is absolutely beautiful! I love the deep rich colors you achieved with that technique! Fantastic, Loll!
