One of my new purchases yesterday was Altenew's Daisies 3D embossing folder. It is simply stunning. I have made two cards - both inspired by Vicky Papaioannou. Check out her video HERE
For my first card I used some black card.
I then took some Metallic Rub-on paste I've had forever.... you use your finger to rub the colour on. I used the Gold to add colour to the embossed areas. I used a Paper Roses Birthday die to cut the main sentiment in gold card and the shadow layer in vellum. I took part of an Altenew Sentiment Strip that I had sitting, alreay embossed, in my extras mug.
Edited: This one is going into the NBUS (never before used schtuff) Here . Thanks for the reminder Linda.
My second card also used some of the Metallic Rub-on. This time my card was some Cream Pearl card.
I embossed the cream card and then using my finger, rubbed silver onto the centre of each daisy and smooshed it out a bit - not all over the daisies though. It's really difficult to photographic. I matted it to some silver card and then onto a card base made with the cream pearl card. I used Altenew's Thanks die. I diecut the Thanks from black card and layered it onto the shadow cut from the silver card. Again I used a part of a sentiment strip from my extras mug.. although it looks silver, it's actually white. This card is 5 1/2" square.
I'm entering both cards into the following challenges.

Great purchase Dawn. It is great seeing your makes from your buys at SENZ. I like both cards - both so unique yet using the same folder.
Wow - what wonderful cards Dawn. Loving that embossing folder, that is really dramatic, and with the metallic rub-ons, they turn into really stunning images
Stay safe

Wow, these are stunning, Dawn! I can just imagine how gorgeous these are in person because I know it's impossible to get a good photo which captures the shine! (Off to shop for metallic rub-on paste!) Thank you so much for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

Gorgeous cards, but the black base makes a dramatic effect. Love that folder and these cards. Thanks for joining the fun at Let's Squash It! Hugz
Hah, I made the mistake of clicking on the silver one in the thumbnail gallery and went to Flickr (where I can’t leave comments) and the black one would be the same! Gorgeous folder, both cards look lovely but I always love the drama of a dark base with metallic highlights!
