My card for this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this Cleopatra Bead from Persona Jewelry.
I loved the vibrant gold & silver combination. I started with metallic gold cardstock that I embossed with the 6" Gun Metal Embossalicious Folder. I bought this folder thinking I would use it for masculine card designs ... so I loved the challenge of giving it a more feminine look. I added a sentiment from Mulberry Wood Love You set.
I inked the raised edges with Memento Luxe Grey Flannel ink (coming soon to Crafter's Companion) and added detail silver embossing powder (this new Mixed Media ink is perfect for embossing). I layered on die cuts and iridescent flowers using the sketch from the July Fusion Card Challenge. The stacked design of the gun metal also reminds me of the stacked birds, so I'm calling this a Fusion design.
I hope you find inspiration.
Wow, this is amazing...the color and texture is perfect! Thanks for playing with us at Fusion!

Love the metallic texture you've added to this! Cool look! That delicate little flower is such a pretty little accent, too!
