This time I used Cherry Cobbler card stock for my card front. I stamped the image in Versamark and heat embossed in Princess Gold embossing powder. I then sponged around the outside edges of all four sides with Cherry Cobbler ink to darken the edges.
I used Fine Tec Metallic Pearlescent inks to paint in the flower and leaves. I've had these paints for a while, but it's my first time trying them out. :) They are fabulous! Wish I had tried them earlier! I used gold for the flower, but it wasn't enough of a different from the gold embossing so added a layer over top of Bronze, and then gold for some of the leaves and silver for the rest.
The sentiment is from the Holly Days (30-869) stamp set, stamped in Versamark and embossed in gold to match the flower. To finish, I splattered more gold pearlescent paint.

This is SO pretty on the Cherry Cobbler paper Loll - and so elegant with the gold and white added - a beautiful card! xx
This is so elegant and beautiful, Loll! The shimmer of the metallic paint is amazing on red! You took a wonderful close-up picture.
You inspired me to use my metallic paints, (which have been hibernating for years...) :-)

Wow Loll, stunning. I love the sparkle of the Fintec colurs against the coloured card stock ♥ I love my metallic watercolours.
Red and gold look so elegant, Loll. The shine from the metallic paint is wonderful and I love the darkened edges of the cardstock.
Amazing paints Loll, and a magnificent card - even more impressive in the close up where you captured some of the shine
Stay safe
Blessings

Wow! Look at that beautiful shine, it's amazing! The flower is pretty and the card is so royal feeling
Spectacular! I love the rich colours - very festive!
"A rose by any other name..." Gorgeous card - I love the gold on red.
I have been using Fine Tec Metallic paint for some time and I enjoy using this product - really looks good on black paper but not nearly s good as your gold on red! Bravo Loll!!
