I made a couple of cards, and this is the first of them.
I first cut nine square with my nesties (second smallest of the large set), then stamped the image in Versamark on each, catching different areas each time. I embossed with gold embossing powder, and then added gold glitter to the bauble shapes. I arranged the squares in a square of gold mirriboard (cut with the largest of the nesties set). The background is more of the green card, covered with some gold-printed vellum from Papermania which I attached with some gold brads.
I love the rich colours in this one - it's almost not important what the image is, it's all about the swirls and shine.
I'd like to enter this card into the special World Cardmaking Day challenge on Daring Cardmakers.
