The CAS challenge today is to use the letters ICE -
I Intaglio
C Crimping
E Embossing
I've stamped on ultra thick embossing powder before but didn't know it was called Intaglio 'deep etching' -happy to learn something new! I crimped the gold panel, embossed the small white panel adding a side of gold. Popped a thin vertical ivory panel on the gold and prepared for the stamping. Die cut the circles. It took 3 applications of Versamark and 3 layers of gold EP to get the depth. After the 3rd layer I pushed the stamp in and left it to cool before lifting off. A few gold gems for even more bling!

Amazing intaglio--I learned a new word today too! What a perfect impression. Mine would be a hot mess. I love that you used crimping for your C. So clever! Beautiful card, Sandie!
