I made a fancy birthday card using cream card stock and gold embossing for a touch of elegance. The Hero Arts flower was stamped 3 times with Versamark, embossed with gold ep, fussy cut, and popped up on foam tape for some dimension.
{click the photo to see a larger view} The Hero Arts leaves were done the same way. I added just a hint of green color to the leaves, and soft pink color to the bloom to give them a little definition. I added a gold embossed Cheery Lynn flourish and an embossed, punched border with some May Arts satin ribbon. I used golden nail head stickers for the flower center and placed a few more randomly on the card. The sentiment stamp has no name on it, so I don't know the mfr. I took quite a few photos of this card, but none truly captured the true cream color. This was the best one of them all.
I'm entering this card into the
Hero Arts Birthday challenge "Floral Cards" category, as well as the
Mod Squad "Go for the Gold" challenge.
Wishing you sunny skies and a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Fancy Dancy! Carol, this is a cream and gold beauty. I love the layered flower. The flourish was just the perfect addition. Love it!!!!
Is your snow gone or still lingering? Hope you aren't getting more any time soon. It will be 76 degrees here today, but storms tonight.

Beautiful card, Carol, Always love to see your elegant gold embossing.
This card is quite stunning. The fact that embossed the flourish die and the borders..... wowzah! That's some patience... and talent.
It is indeed very elegant in all the cream & gold. Think this is one of the prettiest you done in a while too. That's a lot of fussy cutting, but it sure paid great dividends. (Beats shoveling snow!) Yep, we can share those goals! There was not a sentiment for 'be lazy' or I'd have had 3 of those on it!!! Hugs & TFS
