AH 226 - No Beauty Shines Brighter...


Another awesome sketch at Atlantic Hearts this week... wait - EVERY WEEK is a terrific sketch at Atlantic Hearts! 

I chose to use Close To My Heart's new gold foil sheet to emboss a gorgeous design for my background. There is a brand new rose embossing folder and I love it! The foil paper is nice and thick so it embosses very well as you can see. The sentiment is from a new stamp set called "Inspire" and contains 4 wonderful sayings, great for inspiring anyone! 

The flowers and leaves are from a Simon Says Stamp collection that I have had for a while and decided to pull out just for this card. I brushed the flowers with the Gold Shimmer Brush but it doesn't show up in the photo.

Another beautiful card Alyson! I LOVE how the embossing folder on foil makes those flowers POP! I am definitely putting the Flower Embossing folder on my next order. Thanks for sharing.

This is simply gorgeous and you didn't use turquoise. Agree with Denise, a necessity for this embossing folder. The foil is striking.
