When I read this challenge on Monday and watched the video, I really wanted to do it, but I don't have distress reinkers, and all my 3D folders are patterns. So I decided not to do it. But today I saw in the gallery that some people used regular embossing folders, so I decided to give it a try. This is the only floral I have so I went with it. Turned out a little different that the sample in the video. But I kinda like it. It's really bright IRL.
You might notice a little piece I forgot to color. I saw it when I was uploading and it's colored now. I hope I haven't created a Where's Waldo moment.

Wow, that looks gorgeous. It reminds me of cloisonné. I did make sure to include a regular folder iny write-up and samples, so as to open options up for people. I'm glad you decided to give it a go, because this is super.

I think you found the perfect EF for this -- lots of color and not too much black. I love the pattern and how bright your colors look. I am bowing low in awe at you getting the gold ep on the ridges of the embossed flowers so perfectly. it almost looks like you foiled. Whatever you did -- do it again because it's great.

FABULOUS! - You didn't mention in your write up how you got the perfectly embossed petal edges - outlining each element with a fine line embossing pen??? The effect is spectacular!
