My card above includes a technique that looks like marble (in my opinion). I smooshed Inka Gold in pink and gold to create this marble-y looking background. I stamped and heat embossed in gold, a beautiful leafy branch from Altenew's Golden Garden stamp set. The image was stamped twice (once on the card front, and once on the tag), using the Misti to line everything up. It looks like the leaves have gone over the edge of the tag. :)
I've also stamped, heat embossed in gold, and fussy cut a butterfly from Altenew's Wild Hibiscus stamp set, using more inka gold smooshed card stock. Zigs were used to add in some more colour to the design.
I'm entering my card into the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop, and adding it to the CAS Mix Up September Challenge - Marbling. I hope to see you in both galleries!!

A very pretty card Loll, such a soft marbly background!:)
Love the marbling look and color combo with inkas. And that special touch of the leaves extending off the tag -- so creative. I like inkas and have been playing with them recently guided by your video "Smooshing with Inka Golds" plus ideas and details on your blog. You make learning new stuff so much easier!
Stunning! Love those colors.
The sentiment says it all, Loll. I LOVE this card.
Yes the swooshing and inca gold does look like marbling. Just love the very pretty colour combination and fabulous lay out. Always inspired by your amazing cards...Thank you so much x.
Fabulous card Loll...
Love the background...
Hugs Sylvie xx
This lovely card makes me swoon! Pink, gold, and white look so delicate and beautiful together!
This is so feminine and classically elegant, Lolly! Truly breathtaking! Hugs, Dolly
I love the pink and gold tag Loll and the background does have the look of marbling and it is extremely pretty. x
Elegant and serene, Loll ... such a beauty! Hugs, Anita :)
Gorgeous. Oh those colors!
What an incredible card! I love the delicate background tag and gold stamping. You're a genius by placing a tag on the larger panel, and all for a little more based card! It creates so many fields at the same time the card is very austere and very CAS. Your inspirations are unique. Thank you.
Hugs,

This is so dreamy, and perfect for the Altenew challenge! I love the Asian feel of the flowers and your gold embossing...especially how you extended the leaves off the tag...so clever, and so, very elegant!
