At the CAS department of HLS this month the challenge is to emboss on vellum.
Here I did a little dry and heat embossing.
I cut an aperture in the card front and placed a piece of vellum behind it which has been embossed using a stencil made from acetate, cut with my Silhouette Portrait. Behind this I placed a piece of mulberry paper to add a little interest and colour.
The butterfly, from Dies for all occasions, was cut from white card (base layer) and vellum (filigree top layer). The vellum was then heat embossed using WOW St Lucia Surf embossing glitter.
The sentiment, cut from Craft Essentials Creative Dies, was similarly embossed.
It's really taking me a while to get back into the groove of card making since my amazing trip to California... I'll get there soon I'm sure!
