Golden Elements of Style

The base of this card was actually a reject!  I know....can you believe it?  It's so g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s NOW!  There are several steps to making this card ...let me explain:

I took the base (Very Vanilla Textured CS #119951) and drug VersaMark #102283 embossing ink across all 4 edges then dusted with Gold Embossing Powder #109129 and heat set with the Heat Tool #00005.  On the next layer 3 3/4" x 5" I added 3/4" strips of adhesive tape around all 4 edges then added Champagne Fine Galaxy Glitter #114286.  The art layer 3 x 4 1/4 was stamped with the floral image from Elements of Style #120045 (c) in VersaMark, then dusted with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.  I colored the floral image with a blender pen and Blushing Bride #119676, So Saffron #105225, Marina Mist119787, and Pear Pizzazz #119674 ink refills.  Dimension was added to the art piece by lightly adding Baja Breeze #111844 ink refill with a blender pen around the edge of the floral image blending it out towards the edge of the paper.
