Rather than spend hours with a sharpie and struggle to get into all the gaps I embossed this one with a black ink. Whilst not so dramatic I think it is very pretty.

This is absolutely gorgeous with all that gilding - It makes me want to spend money I don't have on a 3-D folder or 2 . . . must be strong and resist theurge but WOW do I love this!

Janine, I have to say that one is the stunner of group. So you brushed the edges with the black pad instead of versamark and clear embossed? I think it's dramatic in a different way.

Ok, I have tried to make this without the black coloring but mine just looked blah so I have always relented and fell back on the black. Yours looks stunning. I guess the embossing with the black ink is the difference. Now I need to give that a try because I adore your card. I LOVE all the texture on this. Fabulous.
