This is a colour that this reminds me so much of the principal of my small (3 teachers) primary school, who was my teacher for my last two years there. She wore a lot of emerald green and a deep amethyst colour, and a very strong musky perfume. I still remember her with fondness and affection.
Anyway, to the card...I had very little in my stash (although Sue's card made me think I should have checked one of my Craft Consortium pads!) so I resorted to Emerald Brushos on watercolour paper spritzed with water. I stamped the flourish in opposite corners, embossed with gold and bleached the colour out of the two flowers, then added Stickles. I edged the panel with gold embossed. The word die was a gift, I think from Cheryl, and I tried embossing the sentiment to add gloss, but it made it too hard to read so I ditched that idea. I did stamp the faceted gem shape on more watercolor paper and made them glossy with three layers of UTEE.

So pretty. I decided to go with silver because I saw so many people used gold, but honestly, I like the gold better with emerald. Your UTEE gems are quite fabulous.

This looks beautiful, Sabrina! I really love the gorgeous colour of the Brushos bg, the bleached embossed flowers looks so pretty and the faceted gems so shiny! Extra cookies for you, for sure! BTW I took a much better photo of my card today~

My first thought was to check out the Craft Consortium pads too for the emerald colour. But you did create a very pretty background with the Brushos for the background.
