Since I’ve been busy gardening lately I’m optimizing my crafting afternoon playing with several challenges: CAS(E) this sketch #377; Color Throwdown Challenge #598 (gold aqua and pink); Less is More #422 (solid and outline) and finally the embossed vellum challenge over at CAS Mix Up!
The card base was dry embossed with the MFT’s rectangle peek a boo window die. Some iridescent medium was added to the window. The Reverse Confetti wheat die set (solid & outline) were used to the gold heat embossed aqua and pink vellum with the IO crackle cover a die stamp. The outline was die cut in gold foil paper. A gold thread held this duo together and the card should be perfect for several occasions.
Thank you so much for stopping by, HUGz, Joanna

Oh Joanna this is fabulous. The stitched die embossing is perfect to frame those gorgeous leaves. The gold embossing really sets them off and the thread is a lovely touch. Thank you for sharing with us at Less is More,Lynne x

Love the way you used the peek-a-boo die to emboss instead of cut, and the way you added the iridescent medium to the inner section. Beautiful wheat!
