Simon Says Stamp March Fresh Bloom Relase Project #3 Gold embossed Peony bg stamp

Simon Says Stamp March Fresh Bloom Relase Project #1

Hi!
Today I'm sharing a project made with Simon Says Stamp's wonderful March Release Fresh Blooms.




I absolutely LOVED to make this card! I started out by stamping the PRETTY-PEONIES-BACKGROUND on spear mint cardstock in my misti using distress ink (vintage photo) I then colored the flowers using colored pencils and when I was done I stamped the pattern in exactly the same place (possible with the misti (-: with embossing ink. I then heatembossed it in gold. I love the result - which is even more beautiful IRL.
