Styled Gold

I'm not sure I like this with the eyelet ruffle but I kept it anyway....ruffles are on everything, have you noticed? Clothing is all about ruffles! Why not add them to the cards? Ok so easy peasy card, I embossed the flowers on an upper corner of the Presto Patterns DS paper with Gold EP and then colored them with Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasabi and Tangerine Tango pads and aqua painter. Then I sprayed the paper with Gold and Log Cabin Smooch! I sprayed the Dusty Durango Ribbon with the smooch spray too! The background Lattice is Whisper White C/S using the new Square Lattice Embossing folder (Summer Mini) and the eyelet border punch for the ruffle. The card base is Whisper White C/S. ~~Tip I learned: If you mist the Presto Patterns paper with water directly before and after misting with smooch and blot with a paper towel, the effect is not quite as dramatic!
