Essentials by Ellen Mix it up Challenge #1

I folded my cardstock for the base, and cut another piece of 5x4 white cardstock and ran it through the bigshot using the Hero Arts Palm with a thick layer of scrap between my cardstock and the die so that the bottom layer would only have a deep emboss and not a full die cut.  

I adhered this to the base and added a strip of glitter paper and black cardstock to the bottom edge.  The leaf impressions were scribble colored with the Versamark Pen and clear embossed.  With the blending tool I lightly inked peacock feathers in a light circular motion. 

I diecut black cardstock roses and leaves on the glitter paper.  The sentiment was black embossed on white cardstock and fussy cut and then inked it without re-inking the blending tool. 

 Final touches were adding sequins with glossy accent and layering the silver thread under the sentiment popped up on black scrapbook adhesive squares.

I just got a sweet visit from Virginia, 

(thanks MUCH!!!) 

which reminded me that

I used clear Embossing, Black Embossing, 

and a Die cut as an Embossing tool
