I'm not really into gold...but lately, I've been in love with gold! Especially gold/mint or coral, and gold/black.
I used the CTMH Artbooking cartridge for the star overlay and the flower, and I heat embossed them in gold.
I used CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge for the banner and the panel (altered in CCR and trimmed).
Then, I added some stamping to the panel and banner, popped-up the flower with 3-D foam tape, and added the thread and button.

Embossed Gold Rose Congratulations Card

This card was inspired by the sketch at Retro Sketches:

...and the color was from Addicted to CAS: Gold.

I used Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape (CTMH).
I heat embossed the flower and "leaves" in gold (Ranger) and cut them out.
Take a look at the stamp set (C1576) Pick a Posie (CTMH) and guess how I "made" the leaves:

The sentiment is from (B1438) Banner Wishes (CTMH).

Challenges:
1. RetroSketches #126
2. ATCAS #44: Gold
3. WAW #144: Anything Goes
4. SSS Wed Challenge: Make It Sparkle
