After I'd recovered from the shock, mopped my fevered brow, gulped down a glass of red and had a wee think, I actually surprised myself 'cos I had an idea ... and it was a good'un 'cos it worked.
This card is the result ... where a combination of gold mirri card and a couple of Cuttlebug embossing folders work like a dream together.
To emphasise the embossing I rubbed a brown permanent marker over it and love how it looks almost coppery on top of the gold ... at least it does to me.

Green Papermania cardstock was cut with a decorative trimmer blade to bring in some colour on top of a white card blank and a smidgeon of brown ribbon prettifies the whole thing.
So ... cheers CCC challenge team. You made me realise that pretty papers are not always necessary!

I know this is an oldish card Max but just found it and think it is fabulous. I have this folder but haven't had the courage to try the colouring yet. Well, might have a go over the weekend if we have no more accidents or problems.
