I stamped the image in Versamark, then heat embossed it in Opaque White...before blending 'Wild Honey', 'Spiced Marmalade' and 'Fired Brick' inks over the top, to look like a sunset...although it kind of looks like a sunrise too! The papers are from the 'Ooh La La (for Him)' collection by My Mind's Eye...I embossed the plainer one using my Cuttlebug 'Victoria' folder, then added faux stitching with my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen.
