I really liked the bold contrast on this card of Hideko's. Instead of leaves I used wheat - Used gold instead of aquas with the bold B&W and instead of framing the whole piece I just framed the wheat.
I stamped the wheat and embossed with Ultra thick powder then brushed with aztec gold pearl-ex and heated again to embed the pigments. I die cut both the wheat and gold metallic frame with SB regal labels dies and finished with a die cut sentiment.
Enjoy your day Hideko!

Thank you for your kind words, Linda! I actually thought about not sharing that card when I made it because I was not 100% happy with it. I didn't know how to improve it at that time, but after looking at your bold and classy creation, now I know that the leaves were the problem. Thanks for your insight! You inspired me to re-do that card. :-) I love your card - especially the wheat embossing! It's beautiful and worth the extra work.
