I used a reversible paper from Graphics 45 for my card. I didn't quite have a match for the golden tan of the dp, so I just used ivory. I embossed the black side in gold.
I have to do some requiring here. None of my gold embossing powders are pleasing me lately. I guess they get old and lose some of their magic, but I have not purchased a new of any brand I have tried that has done it very well either. Any suggestions from our stamping experts over here on SCS? I am really looking for one that melts smooth and has more shine to it.

Wonderful card, Liz! I really like the image you used for the black and white panels! I'm with you on not caring for many of the gold powders, as they look sort of dull. One of my favorite ways to emboss in gold is by mixing gold pearl-ex powder with clear emb. powder. You control the look by how much gold powder you use in the mix. I've always gotten a look I like with that method. I'm sure there's powders out there that I'm not familiar with, however.
