I have had my card made and sitting on my desk for over a week and I still managed to post it a day late. Here I was thinking 2023 would be my year to get back on track – seems like it’s still a work in progress.
The colours for this challenge are so rich and elegant but you get to choose the 4th colour.

The retiring 2021 – 2023 In Colour I chose was Evening Evergreen.
I kept the colours rich and elegant and selected the Seaside Bay Bundle to fit in with that.
The On Line Exclusive Basic 3D Embossing Folders has three different designs. I used the top left hand design to emboss a panel of Evening Evergreen card.
The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper was perfect for this card. I used StazOn to stamp the greeting.
The gold pearl shell stamped using Versamark and then I heat set the Gold Metallic Embossing Power. For the Basic Black and Evening Evergreen shells, I stamped the image onto Very Vanilla card and then stamped the image again in Versamark. Clear Embossing Powder was then heat set on each to achieve the same glossy appearance.
Sadly, the Stamparatus is retiring soon. I will be keeping mine because it is so handy!
I used it as well for the central shell becuase I wanted to stamp the image on my Silicon Mat to reverse the image.
The three pearls were cut from a piece of Pearlescent Specialty Paper.
After all the paper and image elements were layered on the card front, I popped a green and black stitched rectangle behind the greeting layer that had three looks of gold twine secured behind it.
