Clearly Winter White!!!!! I used I Love Roses set that is one of the new Flourishes, LLC release this week. I decided to go winter white with a touch of flair using acetate and some gold. What is winter white without some gold? I always think lurex sweaters....lol!!! I found it is difficult to not only get a great camera shot of the gold embossing but also taking a picture of the acetate card without glare or too many shadows. This card is so much prettier in real life than what I could capture with my camera and with my limited photog skills.
I really wanted to emphasize how truly detailed these rose stamps are. Marcella Hawley, the stamp set designer, created a multi-layered, detailed rose. The roses are so amazing they can stand alone without coloring. I embossed the smallest stem rose in gold . Even embossed the detail of each rose petal is distinct.
