To keep my card simple I did very little layering. To add the polka dots, I used sponge daubers and randomly applied VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with gold emboss powder. Then I stamped the Mixed Bunch flower and heat embossed. I added black glimmer tape across the front and secured the flower with a black glimmer brad. The final step was to add the Congrats sentiment from the Hey You stamp set. Pretty easy! Since I used heat embossing on my card, I'm linking it to the Allsorts Embossing Challenge.

I'm finally catching up on my blog reading and commenting today Andrea, so apologies this is a late one! What a lovely gold CAS card - I thought you'd used the gold polka dot vellum until I read your post - a great idea to make your own! A very classy card.
