Creative Confetti - Try something new!

 I thought that I would just try something new as this challenge suggests.  This is not a new technique, but one that I have only done once before in the way that I first planned.  That technique is called Emboss Resist.  I made a very nice card and then realized that I did not use a Power Poppy stamp at all.  Lol!   Back to the drawing board.  It is hard to pick out a stamp set that I like as I like them all.  But I did go to the Chrysanthemum XL.   I stamped it in Versamark ink and put clear embossing powder on it and heat set it.  Then I found that I had a hard time coloring the petals as I planned because I could not see them.  No Problem, change the plan and use a wash of water color in gold.  Nope, not the look I was going for.  So Plan 3. die cut it out, add a darker color to highlight the petals.

Now we are talking a card.  This is what it looks like. 

 Here is what I used on this card. 

Dark Chocolate card stock GKD, and water color paper for the flower

Stitched Round Rectangles From DieNamics added to the base for texture

Kuretake Starry gold water color

Vintage Photo Distress ink for the leaves and highlights on the flower

Power Poppy Chrysanthemum XL  and Party time for the sentiment

Gold embossing powder for the sentiment

This view shows how sparkly the gold is on the flower.
