People have been amazed by the thickness of the brand new Fall 6x6 paper pack, Sweater Weather - 6x6 Paper. How GORGEOUS is it?!

For my card today, I started by stamping the wreath image from the No Matter the Weather set with some light orange ink. I then took one of the detail layers for the wreath and heat embossed that image with gold embossing powder.
I don't know that I have ever heat embossed over regular stamping before or if I have, it's been quite some time.
I really love the look this gives and the texture the embossing adds to the wreath.
I also decided to do something that I haven't done in ages which is to score my card panel to create dimension. I took my scoring tool and scored at every 1/4 inch.
I realized at this point that I probably should have stamped my sentiment before I did the scoring but I took a chance and with the help of my Misti so I could stamp the sentiment multiple times, I was able to get a great impression, even with the texture from the scored lines.
The sentiment comes from the same No Matter the Weather set. As part of the finishing touches to this card, I decided I wanted to add just a bit more gold heat embossing and to create some depth on my card edges.
I took my Watermark Emboss Pad from LDRS Creative and ran it over just the edges of my stamped card panel. I then used the same gold embossing powder and heat set this. I love how this looks and how it pulls the whole card together.
I finished off the card by popping up my stamped panel with foam tape and adding some metallic gold gems to my wreath.
