I loved the gold and the rich colors. Wow, this is the first time I have used this stamp and it's a beauty! Gold embossed it, and then blended the distress inks. I embossed and stamped the center portion 2 additional times and then blended mahogany on one of them. Then cut out the white center flower shape and the 4 pointed shape right behind that( in mahogany) and glued them on top of the original image so that those 2 sections could be more exact in the coloring. (The rest of the design was very forgiving and didn't need to be blended separately.) Embossed the sentiment also and then added the strip. Love how it turned out.

Gorgeous card and background... The gold embossing really brings out the details, especially with using different colors to sponge it.... Love how you did the center to give it more definition.... lovely job.. Thanks for playing
