Shiny Sunday Copper & Ombre Dandelion Wishes

I already have quite a few Dandelion Wishes cards to share with you over the next few weeks... but I thought I should share this one earlier rather than later... as it was created and sent to celebrate a big moment in my team member, Caroline's life!!

As she finally promoted to being a Bronze Elite demonstrator... which took a bit longer than initially expected... so I am delighted that she now gets her 25% discount on all her Stampin Up supplies... Congratulations again Caroline... very proud of you...
So another card featuring my 3 favourite stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue... Bokeh Dots with Dandelion Wishes... and Friendly Expressions...

But as it was for a special event this time...
The Bokeh Dots image stamp was inked up in 3 different colours to achieve an Ombre effect... starting with Pool Party at the bottom... then adding RETURNING Coastal Cabana  in the centre and finishing with Bermuda Bay at the top...

I started off my series of samples using Sponge Daubers to achieve this effect in a smooth fashion... but actually I just went at it with ink pads for the one you see here... as it gave a more distinctive colour variation...

And finally the dandelion trio and greetings were stamped & embossed using Versamark & Copper Embossing Powder 
Simple but effective I think... and all the more special with the shine of the Copper Foil and Copper Embossing Powder! And finished off with Copper Trim...

And what do you think of my piece of architecture!!?

    This is awesome! One of my downlines just promoted as well and I was thinking about what kind of card I could give her. This is giving me ideas....I might have to case this one. Great job.
