I didn't have time to make a card for yesterday's challenge, but got one done today. I used the tissue paper watercolor tutorial, adding some metallic embossing. I dyed the tissue with picked raspberry distress ink, when it was dry I attached it to a white card base, wrinkling it and rubbing versamark on the wrinkles, then embossed with gold powder. The flower and leaves were die cut, attached along with the embossed sentiment and I added a trio of dew drops. The panel was attached to a white card base.

Gorgeous non-traditional pink with gold heat embossing Christmas design my friend. Love your added die cuts and vellum sentiment too. TFS Sue. Hugs and Happy Holidays.

This is exquisite. I love the watercolor tissue paper background and yours is superb. Beautiful color and the gold heat embossing just kicks it up a notch...or two. Outstanding!

Wow!! This is so beautiful. It has a really luxurious look with the added gold, but still keeps a great clean feel with the simple white silhouettes. And the gold Dew Drops are perfect.

This is FABULOUS!!! I love this technique and you have shown it at its best. I love the non traditional colours and the punch that the crisp white elements add.
