For You by Donna Sledzik - Outside The Box

Good morning everyone! Today I have a bright, all occasion card for you.

To make the card, I started with a white cardstock panel that I masked off with removable tape. I used a blending brush to add Distress Ink to the masked off rectangle.

I removed the tape from the cardstock and dry embossed the panel using the Ringadings 3D Embossing folder. To add some glimmer to the inked area of the embossed background, I used a brayer to apply gold ink to it.

Next, I adhered the background to a gold metallic mat and glued it to a white card base.

I die cut the Verdant Leaf from Vellum, and rubbed over it with gold metallic ink.

The words "For You" were die cut from gold metallic cardstock and the shadow from white cardstock. I glued the gold words to the shadow die cut and adhered it to the center of the card. Next I tucked in the die cut leaf behind the words.
