I promise I did use three different greens to sponge an ombre gradient across a quarter sheet of cardstock. Then I embossed it and swiped over it with gold. The die-cut flower garden was on my desk left unused from something else, cut from Craft Consortium DP. I coated it with Versamark and gave it two layers of clear EP for strength and shine. Edged the card base with a black Sharpie. Sentiment is popped up on foam, and I added some butterflies cut from vellum and coated with Stickles.

The ombre is subtle but definietly visible even to a vision impaired person like me! Between the gold and the stickles, I bet this card just shimmers IRL. I like the use of both embossed and die cut flowers in this garden.

Your meticulous attention to detail in creating the ombre gradient and embossing is evident in the stunning result! The addition of the gold swipe, die-cut flower garden, and vellum butterflies coated with Stickles adds such elegance and dimension to your card. It's a beautiful masterpiece, showcasing your creativity and skill.

A beautiful flower garden is worthy of an outstanding background and you created one. I love your butterflies with the vellum and sparkle.
