For today's card, I started off by gold heat embossing the stag and sentiment onto a piece of watercolor card stock. I then applied a light wash of color using a teal from my Gansai Tambi watercolor set. I matted the watercolor piece onto a piece of metallic gold card stock. For the background, I used a piece of pattern paper I thought matched the theme of the card. And to add some extra dimension, I added an extra layer of vellum. I mounted all of the layers onto a kraft card base. Instead of using twine, I made a bow using 3mm sequin strand. And to finish the card, I add a few 4mm and 6mm Metallic Gold sequins.
