For my first card today, I started by prepping sme navy card stock with my anti-static powder bag. I then stamped the gorgeous Butterfly Background image using my Versamark ink pad.  I then sprinkled on the Metallic Gold Sparkle embossing powder from WOW. I absolutely love the gold sparkle this gives.

I trimmed my panel down and then adhered it to a panel of gold mirror card stock. I stamped and embossed my sentiment which is from the awesome Happy Sayings set from Whimsy Stamps. Some gold sequins finish off this card.

Here's a closeup of the detail that this gorgeous image paired with the beautiful sparkle embossing powder from WOW gives. I absolutely love it.

For my second card, I started by taking my Versamark ink pad and literally smearing it over an entire white card panel. I then sprinkled the Metalline First Frost WOW Embossing Powder all over the top of it to create the nice blue panel you see below.  

After this panel was cool, I then took stamped the Bouquet image from Whimsy Stamps over top of my heat embossed panel with more Versamark. 

I then used the Oceanic embossing powder from WOW to cover my image. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment which is from the Furever in our Hearts set from Whimsy Stamps and also heat embossed it with the same Oceanic powder.
