A wonderful blogging friend did a great thing for me and I wanted to make a card to thank her. I got my inspiration from day two of the Online card class Sparkle and Shine. Day two is all about foiling and I have lots of foil that I've never used so I was ready to go.  The tulips are a Penny Black die that I watercolored with Inka Gold put on my craft sheet, spritzed with water and smooshed the paper in. I used an Avery Elle oval die to make the black embossed insert and gold glitter frame. Then using a Zig 2 way glue pen to cardstock I added gold foil to the cardstock and burnished with my bone folder. I cut out the thanks with a Clearly Besotted die and here it is. This is a great class for me since I love sparkle and shine on cards. It has clean and easy and quick techniques. I'm playing in the Chttp://caswatercolour.blogspot.ca/ challenge this month.  Be kind to one another.

What a great way to use the tulips die, Brenda! Great idea to dry emboss the oval--adds so much! I just saw another card using a glue pen with foil & now I've got to do that! I generally just use it with my self-adhesive foam, but I'd really like to add it to images. Thanks for the push to do it!

Your tulips are so pretty in the oval, Brenda. They really pop next to the black background. The gold adds lots of shine. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
