Metallic Color Challenge


i did this card for the Metallic Color Challenge for Card Makers Week over on the Moxie Fab blog.
i had a bit of trouble deciding what to do with pink and gold! then i saw the paper that i bought from SEI called Moonrise, and thought i could do the gold embossing and just change the colors. so this is what came out.
i soaked the paper with water, then added ink and let it spread where it wanted to. then i cut it out, whew! that took a while! but i like how it looks curled up on the edges.
i also used my plaid maker stamp from SU, and just did one strip of stripes.
i wanted it to be a clean & simple card. is it? i don't know, is embossing considered simple?
