These square vellum doilies are so versatile! I smooshed a Versamark pad over the entire doily, then dipped it in a container of gold embossing powder.
Tip: let the heat tool get super hot before melting the powder; that will minimize warping of the vellum.
The Stampin' Write markers were used to color directly on the red rubber of the branch image before stamping on Very Vanilla cardstock.
Here's another tip: the larger scroll image in this set makes a gorgeous vintage frame! I cut a 3-1/4" square of Garden Green cardstock and stamped it around the edges in Soft Suede and was stunned at how pretty it looked! It's mostly covered on this card, but I'm going to make another that shows it off!
Thanks for looking!

Intriguing layers and textures. Enjoy reading your description of the process, too.
