Embrace Life, With Olive

This card was fairly simple but it was necessary to emboss the Embrace Life sentiment first before stamping the background. The background branches were stamped with Versamark and if that had been done first, the black embossing powder would have stuck to the branches also. The branches on the main element were stamped in Versamark and then embossed with black EP. The leaves were then colored in with Old Olive marker.
