Pretty in Pink (and Gold!) Rose Card
From the Designer: "This elegant pretty in pink, gold and black rose card is a perfect any occasion card for someone special on you card list. The textures, color and finish will make this a treasured card for the recipient. The focal point of the card is the beautiful rose that was heat embossed in gold and colored using Sakura Souffle and Gelly Roll pens. The dry embossed ivory background has half pearl embellishments created using a gold Sakura Pen-Touch Calligrapher marker. The Pen-Touch Calligrapher marker also was applied along die cut edges to create a finished, beautiful edge."
