For the Alpha M challenge with minerals. I used gold. I got this idea from Cindy Schuster at Nutmeg Creations (see her entry for Oct. 27,2016), to get this effect on the fancy frost d.p. Very fun to try. Thank you Cindy! After the heat embossing, I sponged the evergreen oxide on the d.p. and went over it with tranquil tide. I diecut one frond in the glitter paper and the other in tranquil tide and went over it with the sparkle brush. Used small and large glue dots to hold everything in place. I went around the edges of the gold paper with gold delicata ink.

This is one gorgeous Christmas card my friend. I adore this bg you created and how it draws your eye right to the image dies. I love the gold and teal color scheme with just a hint of red in the ribbon - this is really elegant and classy my friend! ~Karen.
