I received the white embossed mat. I stamped the sentiment and put it on a gold foil base.

You did a wonderful job on this card Melissa! The gold sentiment stamping is great!! I am glad you enjoyed the pre-made embossing mats - I really like to emboss my cards - I often forget about that - so many tools - so much to remember! HA! Love that gold shiny paper for the card base top too! Best wishes on winning the prize for this week at Clear Dollar stamps (they have an additional 30% off on stamps, including clearance stamps - I just visited the site. Be sure to come back again next week for another challenge - Gail Scott DT Twist of Faith
