I stamped the image with VersaMark and heat embossed using detail white ep, then painted the flowers with acrylic paint.
Next comes the card base. I positioned the largest label die on the card front and embossed with my Grand Caliber. Then I centered the cutwork die in the embossed area and cut it. Naturally, it flattened the embossing, so I repositioned the label die and embossed it again. Had I cut first I wouldn't have had the extra step. Duh!
The image was cut and embossed, and adhered with foam tape. The largest Label Twenty-five was used to cut a piece of the gray cs and adhered to the inside of the card front, behind the cutwork. I'll add a sentiment embossed on vellum when the occasion arises to use the card.
As always, thanks for looking!

WOW! Love the painting on the dark color. What a gorgeous die you used for the frame! I still don't get the embossing part when using dies but this is fabulous!
