F4A288 Verdant Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: beesmom

Our F4A288 challenge today is to add something gold! I masked my main panel, sponged an ombre range of colors, removed the mask and gold embossed the verdant stamp, and added a die cut thanks. Matted with gold cs. Popped up the main panel with dimensional tape.

Maura, your CAS card is spectacular with the bold colors sponged so expertly to go from one shade into another. The gold leaf spray and sentiment add a richness to the card.

Your gold embossing is gorgeous. I have not had much success with it lately, so I am wondering if I am using the wrong ink (I usually use clear Versamark) or if it is the embossing powder. Does the powder get old and less effective? What do you use?

Fabulous!! Your sponging for the Ombre look is amazing. The gold embossing over it looks fantastic. The gold die cut thanks is just right for this design. Very, very nicely done! TFS
