Red and gold metallic Season's Greetings card

I took red metallic cardstock from Michael's and embossed it with the Sizzix Tim Holtz Botanical embossing folder. This is a gorgeous folder that gives a pronounced image. I then took a gold ink pad and ran it over the raised parts. I didn't think of doing this until I started playing with some gold die cuts, it really made the image pop.

Here is what the cardstock looked like before running the gold ink over it. It is also very pretty, here with a silver sentiment.
