I covered 2/3 of my base card with a soft eau-de-nile green DP (has a subtle pattern that isn't showing up on the photo) and then stamped and embossed the double border stamp from quilled elegance in gold. I rotated the stamp half way across to get the full width of my card letting the image fall off the edge on the right. I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the same set to match.
I probably should have stopped there - it was elegant, with just a hint of gold. But no, not me, it seems I can't do "subtle" and gold together. I decided to colour in the quills using gold stickles and my all time favourite stickles colour "patina" to match into the eau-de-nile. Hope I didn't overdo the touch of gold too much - I have to say it is far prettier and less in your face in real life as the light has made it look super sparkly in the photo here.
LOVE this, stunning!!
