You may have seen how I used the Detailed Brushes (my latest fav)? Wonder what happened to that dry-embossed  frame? Well, I tuned it into a card! 

Altenew-Branches & Berries Die-Baroque Frame Embossing Folder-Vintage Garden Stamp Set -001

Basically, I created a wood frame with the Baroque Frame Embossing Folder.

To make the frame more interesting, I stamped a few leaves and sentiment inside and around the frame.

Next, I dressed it up with die cut (die cut gold foil with Branches & Berries Die).

Lastly, I added a few more golden touches: splatter, gold sequins. This card was a delight to create!
