This is my "going away card" for a co-worker who is leaving for a new job. I love this Embrace Life set, and the sentiment I put inside "Go Confidently in the directions of your dreams, by Thoreau seemed to fit. The flowers are embossed in gold on velum and colored with Ruby Red and a blender pen, then dry embossed for demension, they also have a little gold crystal in the center. The Ruby Red layer of CS is stamped with Linen using Ruby Red and then the leaves stamp gold embossed. The base layer is Blush Blossom dry embossed with Fiskars "Blossoms" texture plate, rubbed with versa mark and then Rose Romance pastles, doesn't show to much in the photo. The Ribbon (from Mike's) slide is a Cuttle bug diecut using gold CS with several layers of clear embossing power heat embossed.

This card is beautiful, love all the extra touches. The flowers really stand out and I wouldn't have thought of putting clear EP over the ribbon slider, neat. TFS!

The details on this card are just so stunning! I've favorited so I can try some of these ideas. Love the ribbon slide embossed...it looks so "real." Beautiful coloring!
