It seemed like a good opportunity to do something with these dies - kicking myself for not buying the whole set before they were discontinued. I originally cut them from a darker blue which I preferred, but didn't have enough cardstock to make the base, so I had to start again. It's a little more turquoise IRL, but this is my third attempt a photo and I'm calling quits. I embossed the white with a wave ef, and the blue with SU's Tin Tiles, edging both pieces with a gold pen.
For the base I used some chiyogami paper, and to make the stopper I punched and layered a few circles, then added about four layers of gold EP, stamping into the top layer with Versamark. It says Herbal Tea Company. I popped it up on foam, with some metallic red cording.

Oh my goodness this is stunning Sabrina, it must look even more amazing and impressive in real life. I love how you made the token. Wow I can't choose which card I like best, both are equally wonderful Sabrina.

What a stunner, Sabrina! I love the color and I'm sure it's even more beautiful in person. Those dies are fabulous and, now, you've enabled me for "shopping" by saying that you're kicking yourself for not buying more of these dies before they were discontinued! Oh my!

I would not kick you for not buying the whole set of these dies, but boy I would love to see the rest of them if they are like this. So beautiful, but that is because of your choices of papers, colors and that stopper that looks like a wax seal! Everything about this card is completely fascinating!

This is a fabulous card for the challenge Sabrina. I'm sorry it took several attempts to make this, but my goodness, your efforts paid off in a huge way. I really love how you made this an easel card and I love all the embossing you did too. I would not have thought to emboss the elements like this so thank you for the inspiration on this. But...it is the gold button you made that makes my heart go pitter patter- I LOVE that button stopper! ~Karen.
