I am delighted to host Color Challenge 919. I selected a color combo of Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Mossy Meadow with using gold as the Dessert option.
For my card, the flower was gold heat embossed on watercolor paper and colored in with ink & water painter brushes. Die-cut in two-steps to get the size rectangle I wanted, which was then layered on a paper doily, DSP, a strip of Mango and then a Cajun card base. The sentiment was gold heat embossed and has been in my scrap box a long time. With a little trimming, it was just perfect to cover a smudge and to adorn my card. Final touches were a single gold faceted gem and Wink of Stella sparkle on the flower & leaves.
I look forward to seeing what you create this week. Have fun!

Maybe my all-time favorite SU stamp--Bloomin' Beautiful. And you used it perfectly, gold embossed and beautifully colored. I love that you were able to cover up a little oopsie with your very pretty greeting! Lovely!
