I started with a piece of plum mirror paper. I cut a small panel and dry embossed with small tiles embossing folder. I randomly sprinkled with silver and gold embossing powders on top, leaving lots of spaces without any powder. I heat embossed to melt the powders and then ran Staz-On black ink over top, which caught the tops of the dry embossing. I die-cut my maple leaf and inlaid it into my card front. Stamped a simple sentiment to finish.
