My birthday is in November so my birthstone is the topaz. Not my favorite color, but that makes it more of a challenge
I used Delightful Dijon to represent the color of topaz. I think it's pretty close, actually. I picked Tip Top Taupe as my neutral because I think it sets off the yellow nicely. I used taupe ink with the embossing folder stamping on taupe cardstock for the frame. The branches were diecut from taupe cardstock and sponged with taupe ink to darken them. I sponged dijon ink on the edges of the flowers for a little depth. TFL

Your card is exquisite, Maria. Love the taupe and yellow together and the embossed oval framing is beautiful. Wonderful detailing on all of the flowers.

The inked embossing folder looks wonderful! I can never get such an even coverage. Love your spray of flowers, I do believe I have that die tucked away somewhere!
