It was hard to get a good picture of this card, I don't know if it was the time of day I took it or the embossing just reflected badly or what so I have two shots so hopefully you can get what I was going for.
I first tried to emboss with the same paper that I stamped the verse on and you just couldn't see the detail in the stamp, finally found some detailed embossing powder and that still didn't help so I went with stamping on the white paper and just doing some inking around the edges of both the image and card, then used a silver pen to go around the edges.

My dear friend, the card you made for you Pastor and his wife is simply lovely! You never cease to amaze me with your designs.
Hugs to you!
Very beautiful card, Connie! The silver embossing gives it that extra special touch and yes, it can be difficult to photograph, but I know the true look and it's just perfect. Have an excellent day!
Hugs,
Lisa
Connie, it's beautiful and I know how appreciated it was. That is an important position to fill and it's difficult when you get attached to someone. I'm sure it will all turn out good in the end.
A very handsome card Connie! Love the verse you chose! It's always hard to see a beloved Pastor leave. I know he cherished your card. PS. Sponge another one and enter it at ODBD! You have 2 weeks!
A very elegant and beautifully done card for your Pastor Connie. It's always sad when the Pastor leaves.
Your pastor will treasure this beautiful card. I can't imagine losing someone who has led you all like that. BTW, I can still comment on people's blogs who are Google plus. Let me know if I can help. I am not a part of it either. I don't like it. LOLOL :-(
Fantastic masculine card Connie. Love that sail boat image, the blue hues... hope the new pastor will be just as much of a blessing as the old one was...
