Gold Embossed Altenew Flowers

I've seen so many beautiful cards with gold heat embossing on dark cardstock, I decided to give it a try. Here I took the Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers set and arranged the stamps around the edge of the cardstock. I used VersaMark watermark ink and then used gold embossing powder. I like to do one stamp at a time so I don't make a mess with the gold powder, accidently bumping it.

I colored the leaves and flowers in with Faber-Castell Polychromos. I used several shades of blue and 2 shades of green. I then highlighted a few areas with the white pencil on the flowers, I used a light yellow on the leaves for accent.

I then matted the cardstock on gold cardstock and attached the entire thing to a regular white card, finished size is 5x6.5".

I diecut the Happy Birthday 2x,once in the blue cardstock, once in the gold and glued them together using Gina K Connect Glue, which has a nice fine tip.

Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers

This set from Altenew is called "Pen Sketched Flowers". It's so beautiful with a number of flowers, buds and leaves, so many different ways of how they can be used.

I decided to frame the card with leaves coloring it all in with Copic markers. I usually either leave the background plain or watercolor it in but I was watching a baseball game and didn't feel like getting up and getting brushes and water out!

I'm entering this in Altenew's August Challenge:
