I was so moved by an image I saw on Instagram by @hannexstitch, where she made the most gorgeous banner with gold letters and gold-dipped wreaths. Just breathtaking. So, I asked what technique she used and she directed me to Danielle Flander's tutorial on gold-dipped die cuts...I was hooked, and made this...
I die cut some flowers from colored paper, brushed some of the petals with an embossing pad, and then heat embossed the tips in gold. Its a bit hard to see, but up close, I find it quite pretty.
I'm entering this into CAS(E) this Sketch, where we used this sketch as our inspiration.
Thanks for looking!
Supplies:

Dies: Paper Smooches Reflections Flowers
