Oh my word!!! As I uploaded my pic, I saw that my flower looks DIRTY!!! AAAACCCCCKKKK!!! IRL is it really pretty, but NOT in the picture!!! I lightly sponged the white flower with gold ink........I will have to rethink this one, for sure! But rest assured, my dirty flower is NOT really dirty!!! LOL!
I used a Sizzix ef for the background and the MS lattice border punch underline by gold cs for the middle panel. I used a nestie die for the image and sponged with gold ink. Then I outlined the image with a gold metallic pen..........why I just didn't heat emboss the image with gold ep first, I'll never figure out! DUH!!!
What do you think?

It doesn't look dirty to me, I must say. I love the garden feel with the trellis and background embossing - an elegant garden . Laughing at you wondering why you didn't heat emboss - I had to start something from scratch last week when my leafing pen smudged as I was edging something - so this week I made darned sure to use ep straight off.

Unless you have major professional photo lighting gold is very hard to photograph. Your card is very pretty and I can imagine just how elegant the gold roses are.

Gorgeous! Love, love, love the lattice border against the embossed trellis! Your flower is beautiful... it doesn't look dirty to me at all, but isn't it true about our darn cameras? Mine does the same thing... it shifts the colors, adds dirt to my flowers and pounds to my physique when that isn't what I'm seeing. LOL
