Vellum embossing
This was a new technique for me to try! It is for Joan's Challenge. I used vellum and then embossed with white and colored with brush pens.I embossed the borders with lavender. I used the Just Rite stamps...Beautiful Blossoms Borders and Centers. The royal velvet cardstock from Papertrey was perfect for color matching and used their ribbon also. I used Mark's Finest white cs with the Martha Stewart punches. And of course used the spellbinders scalloped ovals, hearts, fancy labels and had to add a bit of bling! It was my first attempt...so don't look real close! ( I ended up making 4 cards.) BUT it was fun....and I do like the finished look!

I have done very little embossing on vellum...I have done some Parchment Paper pieces and it is very time consuming. So I'm sure this is equally so...very pretty! What did you use to color the background of your stamps?
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous cards. I have never done this technique. The results are fabulous.
