I've embossed with dies again. I do love this technique!
I also watercolored a die cut to pop on top. I managed to keep most of the
petal pieces intact and put some tape behind them to keep them there.
To add a bit of foil on the petals, I swiped with a Zig Dual Action Glue Pen.
When the glue was somewhat dry but tacky, I laid some Deco Foil on top
and rubbed it with a bone folder to transfer the foil.
A think strip with the sentiment finishes off a Fall birthday card.

Like how you glided into a fall card by using a fall color....and posted it on Labor Day. The die embossing background sets it off so well. And the technique of getting foil on some of the flower--new one to me--love the look! -- gonna try it.
Beautifully coloured and partially foiled die cut flowers Bonnie looking great over the embossed die image in the background and love the contrast of the white on black sentiment to finish. x
Gorgeous! I just love the effect of the embossing AND the gold...stunning colors too!
Oh wow, that touch of gold really pops this card. I love this, Bonnie.
Wonderful colour combination Bonnie and the dry embossing with the die cut adds a wonderful additional layer and interest x. Great to stretch the dies further too x. A beauty of a card x.
Perfect nothing more needs to be said. x
I love this technique! The embossed die really adds so much texture to the design and the touch of foil adds so much sparkle!

Beautiful blossoms atop the embossed ones, Bonnie!! Just love the touch of foil too!!

Precious, the leaf embossing and those gorgeous blooms ...I mean WOW! Love that punch of metal and colour. The fine black matting and the slick black sentiment strip just honour this beauty. So happy you're enjoying this challenge. Thank you so much for sharing! xx
LOve the bits of gold on this darling little bloom, Bonnie! Or should I say 'this Bonnie little bloom, darling!' LOL
Gorgeous embossing, my friend!

What a great way to use scraps of foil! I'm keeping this in mind and will try it soon. A beautiful card!!
I am loving the look of embossed dies too that I've been seeing! This is gorgeous Bonnie, love those leaves embossed into your panel in the background, your flower is stunning-love that you added some foiling on it, makes it just glow. A great fall birthday card for sure and your sentiment is so perfectly placed! Hugs, Brenda
STUNNING!!!!
Those little bits of gold are a simply amazing finishing touch xx
WOW! Is this ever classy or what? That bit of gold you added really made this outstanding, Bonnie! You've had the best luck with foiling without a laser printer of anyone I know. This is OUTSTANDING!
Wow, beautiful card. Love the embossing with the die. Great technique to add the touches of gold to the pretty flowers. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
I am so far behind in my commenting but just had to stop by and tell you how pretty this card is Bonnie! I love the embossed background and the touches of gold foil on your die cut flower is so striking! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
LOVE the embossed background. Isn't this a great technique?? Why haven't I done this before. :) I sure do love CAS Mix Up challenges.
Your bright orange flowers are so pretty and the added gold is fantastic. xx
Another beautiful die embossed background card. The gold foil is a lovely touch of elegance.
Perfect! Love the leaf embossing behind the floral image, a ton of interest here
I'm a new fan of this technique. Love how you did the flowers with that intricate little bit of foil. That could turn into a mess or it could turn out awesome like yours. So pretty, Bonnie!
Wonderful "embossing with dies" shadow, Bonnie! The gold foil looks so pretty against the bright red petals. It's a clever idea to use a Dual Glue Pen to add foiling to small spots like these. Thank you for sharing!

These golden crumbs look so beautiful, especially in combination with this fiery red. I love this card, Bonnie
