Sue Wilson Dies, Classic Bow, Striplet Lattice Heart, Petite Vinery, spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and Sue Wilson Floral Brocade

For this card i wanted to use Sue Wilsons new embossing folder Floral Brocade. Because of the detail  i used Coredinations card so it could be sanded to give colour.

added Treasure Gold to the embossed areas.

 The Striplet die sanded and gilded.

 Martha Stewart punch doily for the edges.

Used the bow die and sanded to show the detail, added glossy accents to the centre and chunky glitter.

Die cut both of the Petite Vinery in gold mirror card, added 4 bitty blossoms cut from the creative expressions felt, (it cuts so perfectly) the glitter the same as bow.
