Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It seems impossible to get a good photo of all this shine.
I used my favorite 3D embossing folder for the leaves. For the 7 1/4" Monarch
sized card, I used the embossing folder twice. Where they meet was a good place
to put the sentiment strip. The sentiment is from a very old Hero Arts set and
probably not available any more.
After embossing, I lightly sanded the raised portions with a sanding block.
I love how this technique highlights the raised veining in the leaves.
The sentiment is heat embossed with gold. It's a super shiny card!

What a beauty of a card Bonnie - and some excellent photography too! Love all the texture on the leaves and the butterfly, and the way that you added your sweet sentiment in the white strip for contrast. Thank you for sharing your talents with us at Tic Tac Toe! Vicky x
This is one stunning card. This embossing folder is one of my favorites and the leaves look gorgeous sanded. What a wonderful sentiment.

That is one, gorgeous embossing folder, something I never think to use! You really made it stand out with that technique! LOVE this and am so tempted to get it after seeing you work with it!
WOW! Love the embossed leaves with the soft green foil, Bonnie. Clever to use the emboss twice for your large-sized card. The sentiment is so lovely ... and what a great way to hide the split between the two embossings. LOVE that butterfly! xx

Bonnie your embossed foil makes for a stunning card and that sentiment is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us over at TicTacToe this week!
Absolutely stunning! There's just no other words, Bonnie!
Gorgeous 3D dry embossed foiled leaves background for your slimline card design, Bonnie. Love your added die cut foiled butterfly and sentiment too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Wow, such a rich decor for this heartfelt quote. This is so very special, my mouth is hanging :O
That folder is absolutely gorgeous in green foil, Bonnie. The foil butterfly is lovely as it points to that wonderful sentiment.
Wow, I can't get over these 3D embossing folders. This is amazing and gorgeous, Bonnie!
The color scheme is perfect, Bonnie, I love the green embossed background and that brick butterfly. Mirrored cardboard boxes are really beautiful, when embossed they create a different world. The mistake of cutting through a leafy background and using that space to place the sentiment is brilliant
