So my attempts have simply been done using Cuttlebug embossing folders.
On the first card I used the front of a Papermania card that had a pastel pattern of random circles on it. Having run this through my machine, I then inked the surface and added a stamped image of one of the flower foam stamps from QVC:

The second one is a gatefold card, similarly using an embossing folder and inking - the fairy etc are rub ons:

and this is the inside of the card, the card blank itself having an iridescent sheen:
