This was another challenge that I thought was impossible, but after looking for a "grass green" designer paper and finding this leafy Susan Branch one, my mind started working and here is the simple design I ended up with:
I stamped the wreath 4 times, twice in Memories green ink and clear embossed, and then once in Versamark embossed in gold and again in Versamark embossed in silver. Taking these pictures at night was lots of fun. I'm adding another one just so you get the full effect. It changes as you tilt the card.
Supplies: white cardstock, Susan Branch design paper, Hero Arts CG215 Wreath of Flowers, Memories green ink and clear embossing powder, versamark ink and Ranger super fine detail gold embossing powder and super fine detail silver embossing powder, PTI sentiment from Vintage Picnic Sentiments, green ribbon from Kath, die-cut label from my friend Yvonne
