I was inspired by a card made by Therese Calvird, feature in an article on "Designing With Doilies". The card had a butterfly embossed on vellum, the effect is quite stunning so I had to have a go. I was a bit nervous using the heat gun on vellum, thinking it would shrivel up, but it worked great. Love the finished effect, I embossed my sentiment as well to match.
