I embossed a piece of white cardstock and ink blended the flowers and the leaves liberally with distress oxide ink and a small blending tool. I then dragged a black ink pad over the de-bossed areas leaving behind the color in the "valleys" of the panel. I let it dry for a few minutes and then I splattered some gold mica paint all over. I then used the new A2 Nesting Frames to cut out a gold frame and glued it to the inked and embossed panel. I trimmed it down and adhered it to an A2 size card base made from white cardstock. I then die cut the new CZ Happy die from more gold cardstock and heat embossed the word birthday using gold embossing powder which I cut into a strip using a paper trimmer.
