This card is for the inspiration challenge & everything old is new again.

The dress has texture similar to the inspiration, but my focus is the accessory- gold purse.
I tried heat embossing 3x on foil paper and this was the best of 3. It's a little grainy, and think it's due to the thickness of the words on the stamp. This was very challenging due to the ep sticking to the foil. I used a paint brush to take off as much excess as possible prior to heating.
I stamped, embossed, then die cut. I cut the panel to make the flap, scored folded and glued to backside of purse.
The bg is made up DP of perfumes & gems and one solid colors. This looked easier than I thought and will try again in the future.
My DIL's birthday is in June. This design is a tribute to her as she & her childhood friend followed their dream to open a resale shop, focusing on evening wear & prom dresses. Their business (called Ooh LaLa) has exceeded their expectations and is now in its 10th year.
Thanks for looking, and enjoy the weekend!
