Here's my birthday card going out to Canada today. I like these challenges because I look through old stamps and find something suitable. I don't remember the last time this stamp saw ink! I embossed the image in gold ep and colored with copics. I edged the sentiment with versamark and embossed it in gold as well.

I always forget how beautiful the gold ep makes a card! Love your colour scheme and I'm so glad you brought your stamp out to see ink!!! Thanks for sending to Kay - she will be so touched!
A beautiful card. I love that image. It's great to get out stamps we haven't used in a while to make something. It's like getting it brand new again. Love the gold embossing. Great card.
