MamaPickle(Teresa) is hosting the WT Challenge today. She asked us to use Versamark Ink on our cards. I know "VM" is a MUST in my card-making supplies. I think they named it that because it is so versatile.
I used an old CHF backgrounder stamp and VM. I then brushed on Perfect Pearls to make the shimmering leaves bg. On the sentiment label, I heat embossed with VM and powders in the traditional way. On the brown panel, I dry embossed the panel, then swiped it with VM before sprinkling on a light coating of metallic gold EP. This last shows up much more garishly in the photo than IRL, but that is probably the fault of the camera operator, not the camera! : )

This card has such a rich shimmer to it - perfect for fall! I completely empathize on photo-taking too. It's hard to capture those great real-life colors and details sometimes, but this picture is still captivating even if you did have trouble!
