I have never embossed a colour on coloured paper. I was actually inspired by someone's profile picture. She has sunflowers with a red background. I will try to find that picture and add the link.
I embossed the sunflowers using clear embossing powder and Yoyo Yellow Craft Ink. I had to add lots of yellow. Then I used Green Galore craft ink for the leaves. I used black embossing powder and a versamark pad for the sunflower centre. I used plain ol' black ink for the sentiment. (No embossing) I also used a corner punch to add some more interest. The camera doesn't do it justice...the real red paper is stunning! Thanks for looking!

Oooooh... another lovely sunflower card! The vibrant colors are beautiful... who'd have thought you can stamp yellow on red with such great results! I see someone borrowed her friend's corner punch again... giggle
How wonderful that you were inspired by my avatar! I can't take credit for the photo, but I'm flattered nonetheless that you like it so much and created something so beautiful from it!
