Great images on our inspiration site this week ( IC483). I was inspired by the rich colors of green and yellow in this image, but decided to go a bit more gold than yellow: http://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/f...rqU5l0c7sOgPIy
This time I embossed my gold stems first, then masked off the strip across the top and embossed some more gold (this time the text stamp, and splats from French Foliage). Then I blended distress inks till I liked the result, added some more foliage in green, removed the mask and then added the sentiment and then a couple of gold embossed dragonflies.
Stamps: grand Peaceful Wildflowers: MFT, dragonflies: HA, French foliage: text and splats, foliage stamp: HA, sentiment: Bridge of Hope: Sweet n Sassy stamps

This is so pretty and beautiful! I love the way you mixed that heat gold embossing into the scene. The sentiment is perfect!! Such a beautiful card!
