My original plan was to include a rose and some leaves on top of the vellum panel with the sentiment but when it came to adhering everything in place it looked too fussy and luckily there just wasn't enough room for them all, even though I had made the base slightly larger than normal (5 1/2" x 7 1/2") .
The golden sparkle really pops with the black inlay of the leaves.
To keep this card nice and flat for mailing, I adhered the vellum layer with tiny dots of adhesive behind the sentiments.
Here is a photo showing just the leafy panel ... it was a struggle to cover any of it. You would NOT believe the challenge I had with the random placement of the leaves, I usually have a tight grip on my ruler!!! It took me longer to place them than it did to die cut them all.
Ingredients:
American Crafts - Gold Glitter Paper
American Crafts - Textured Cardstock
Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive

I was inspired by:

- the leafy background of Lydia's card from Day 3... the Winnie & Walter Cover Model - The Leaf Effect Cutaway
is on my wishlist, I'm sure you can see why :)
