To go with the gold embossing of the flowers I decided to take my stencil and apply versamark ink right from the pad through the stencil onto the top portion of this panel, it already had some splotches of ink so I thought it would work great and tie it all together.
Trying to get more of the shimmer of the embossing with the next picture, another gloomy day here so it didn't turn out as well as I would like.

As we take time this weekend to have fun with family and friends and start off our summer, I hope we all take out the time and reflect on those men and women, who gave of themselves for our country and to the families they left behind. Even if we may not be happy with the way our country is going right at the moment, I can still say I feel so blessed to be an American!!
Thanks so very much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Such a sweet card Connie. Love the die-cut flourish... perfect backdrop to the heat embossed flowers.
This is gorgeous! I love the colors your flowers and that pretty embossing! WOW!
Beautiful and joyful!
Such a beautiful card. Loving the distressed look and those colours are devine!
Beautiful! I love those flowers, and your stenciling looks just like part of the paper, but prettier! That's some very sparkly embossing powder, too. It shows up beautifully. This is a day of reflection, for sure. Bittersweet. I wish there was no need for it. War is archaic. I can't even get started with my thoughts on that.
Beautiful card, Connie! I like the linen feel of your papers, and it carries right through to your flowers. Great texture - your gold brings out that elegance that always makes a card more beautiful, and your color choices are so serene! Lovely card! hugs, de
This is very beautiful! Love the pink and gold together.
I like the glitter and the sparkle...and the message as well!!
Life is Beautiful, Connie. What an appropriate card for today. Happy Memorial Day!
A really pretty card Connie. Your flowers look gorgeous and you have used my favourite swirl die!
Yes, life is beautiful ...just as your card!
Have a wonderful week!
