Bold Bouquet Sympathy Card

I recently purchased Altenew's Craft Your Life: Bold Bouquets kit, and today I put together a card using some of the elements from the kit. I embossed a black panel with the 3D embossing folder from the set and went over the raised embossed parts with gold ink. I also die cut the lily die from the set out of gold metallic card stock, embossed it, and popped it up on foam tape (this set includes a die to cut out the whole floral image and also a die to cut out just the lily that's part of the floral composition). I heat embossed the "heartfelt sympathy" from Altenew's Craft Your Life: Bewitching Rose set using gold embossing powder. I added 3 gold Nuvo drops around the sentiment. Then I used gold ink to cover the four sides of the front of the white card base so the black panel would be edged in gold. I adhered the black panel to the card front to finish the card.

  5. Gorgeous card Carrie! Clever to rub gold onto the embossing to pull is all together. Like you, I save the tiniest snippets of mirror card.
