Layered Florals ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today's card was inspired by sketch #656 at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. I also had a piece of cardstock I had embossed with gold while I was crafting for the weekend a few weeks ago that I hadn't used. I decided to see if I could make a go with it. I usually throw all of those scraps in a bag and let my friends go through it every now and then. I still have the bag, this one just never made there.

Since I used gold embossing I decided to turn this scrap piece into an anniversary card. To get the embossed gold onto the flowers I dragged my VersaMark ink pad over it. It hit most of the raised parts pretty well. Unfortunately it also hit some of  the cardstock that wasn't dry embossed. I left some of those areas on it because it sort of gave it a vintage look and I liked the look. To get the rest off that I didn't want on there, I used an old, small paint brush with stiff bristles over it. I added brushed gold paper and white embossing for the sentiment as well to go with the gold embossing.

This is the sketch we worked with this week.
