The Make the Cards Challenge is a technique challenge to use a black cardstock background. On my black cardstock I stamped with versamark ink the border wildflower background stamp from Hero Arts/PinkFresh Studios collaboration set “You Make a Difference”. After heat embossing the gold embossing powder, I used a white colored pencil to color in certain areas of my flowers and then used different colors of colored pencils to complete the background. After adding the sentiment from the same stamp set, I cut some frames from Taylored Expressions A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate in gold cardstock. The sentiment frame was popped up by adding two frames under the gold.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, be safe and stay cool. Temperatures are heading higher again tomorrow in Pennsylvania.

Very pretty! Love the colors you added with the pencils.
Thanks, Lisa, I was glad that I added some extra color to the flowers.
What an elegant card. The gold embossing on black is very striking.
Thanks, Judy, this is a really great background stamp.
GORGEOUS!! And so elegant. I love the color you added to the gold embossing.
Thanks, Lisa, I always appreciate your comments.
For me the gold frames finish this work of art. Fun take on this challenge.
Thanks, Bonnie, I was hoping the frames would add a little more detail to this card.
WOW! What can I say, this is fabulous. So elegant and classy and I love how you added the sentiment. Using a pencil to define some of the flowers is a wonderful way to add detail to the design.
Thanks, Johanna, I really like this background stamp and actually remembered to color with white pencil before adding the color. LOL
Gayle, this is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks so much Golda, this is one of my favorite background stamps.

Thanks, Gerry, gold and black is always a good combination and this is such an awesome background stamp.
I love this card. Adding the coloured pencil just finishes it off nicely
This is such a lovely card. The heat embossing with the coloured pencil really works well. Thanks for joining the Make the Cards Challenge!
