and the challenge set by Susan is EMBOSSING VELLUM.
(My DT launch post is HERE if you missed it first time round!)
I took one of my biggest stamps and heat embossed onto my vellum.
Overlaid it onto some Raspberry card stock and to hide where I stuck it down at the top, die cut a scalloped edge and popped this over it with some foam pads.
(I had seen something similar to this done by a fellow blogger and thought it was a great idea to hide the sticky bits which I always manage to be able to see when I use vellum!)
We have some lovely cards to show you from the Design Team and our Guest Designer BONNIE over at the challenge blog and we love to read your comments so please come and visit.
Really hope that you will share your make in our gallery this month!
That's such a good idea and the bright card over the vellum helps the colour pop. That is a great stamp and it looks stunning embossed on vellum. I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful birthday xx

Love how you attached the vellum and hid the tape Viv, beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteYour bloom looks so soft and delicate embossed on the vellum Viv. Great idea to hide the glue at the top. I always seem to get half of the glue over the vellum when I use it!
