Greetings!
This past year I have found myself using the Texture Chic Designer Series Papers (DSP) again and again with a wide variety of stamp sets. They are so versatile with their geometric gold foil enhancements added to the beautiful colors, combined with a weathered look.
For today's card I wanted to use the wreath from the Natural Prints dies and when I looked at the detail of the die, I decided to see what it would look like if I inked the die with Versamark before I die cut it, and then heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder to enhance the details. It turned out really cool!
The Gold Embossing Powder really shows all the detail in the wreath, and the Texture Chic DSP print continues the scattered pops of gold. Since gold was the highlight, it made sense to continue it with some little plants inserted into the wreath, and also for the word "friend".

Here's How It's Made:
Adhere DSP panel to folded Petal Pink card front.
Ink cutting side of wreath die with Versamark pad, carefully position onto Basic White cardstock, die cut. Carefully remove die cut wreath, holding onto edges, sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder, shake off excess, and heat set with Heat Tool.
For an easy, portable and safe heat embossing surface, cover a clip board with aluminum foil, wrap around edges to back, and tape to back to secure. This way the heat from the heat tool won't transfer and potentially damage the surface of the table or counter you're using. It's also convenient to hold the cardstock in place by slipping an edge under the clip at the top of the clipboard whenever possible.
Ink "friend" with Versamark, stamp onto Soft Succulent cardstock piece, sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder, shake off excess, heat set with Heat Tool.
Using the three small plant dies, die cut three from Brushed Gold Metallic cardstock and three from Petal Pink cardstock.
Adhere wreath to DSP panel with mini glue dots. Below right center, adhere shorter Petal Pink DSP strip over wreath, then longer narrower Petal Pink DSP strip, and adhere Soft Succulent stamped "friend" over both strips, centering, with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Slip the little plant die cuts into openings in the wreath, pairing a Petal Pink with a Brushed Gold Metallic, spacing around the wreath; adhere with mini glue dots. Embellish with Pool Party and Petal Pink Faceted Gems.
