Hi everyone, I would like to share a card with you that I made, inspired by a card Julee Tilman made by embossing vellum and inking it to give it a vintage feel. I loved the look of the embossed vellum over the DSP to give it hint of colour behind. I have put the instructions below on how I made this card.

Technique
Fold the piece of
Naturals White Cardstock in half to create the card base.
Distress all the
edges of the DSP and Cardstock pieces apart from those pieces for the flower,
leaves and sentiment. Sponge all edges
with Baked Brown Sugar ink.
Put the piece of
Vellum in the Argyle Embossing Folder and put it through the Bigshot. Adhere this to the piece of Pool Party DSP
9.5cm x 138cm with some double sided tape, the DSP should now be completely
cover with the colour reflecting slightly through the Vellum. You only need to
put the tape in the corners and a small piece half way on the sides. Adhere this to the Basic Black Cardstock mat
and then lightly sponge Baked Brown Sugar on the embossed vellum to give it an
aged look, go lightly with the sponging. Create two folds in the Basic Black Chevron
Ribbon on one end and also create a flag end on the ribbon. Adhere this to the embossed Vellum and Basic
Black Cardstock piece about 3cm up from bottom of this piece. Adhere this to the card front.
Adhere the
distressed DSP from the Flashback Paper Pack onto the Basic Black mat. Stamp the sentiment in Black onto the
Naturals White Cardstock and punch out using the Decorative Labels punch. Adhere to the top right corner of the panel piece,
making sure that it is behind the panel with only the sentiment showing (you do
not want the entire punched piece showing).
Adhere this to the Vellum card front over the Chevron Ribbon.
Stamp the flower
image in Pool Party on Pool Party Cardstock and then stamp the flower centre in
Island Indigo. Stamp the leaves in
Memento Black on Naturals White Cardstock.
Cut out using the Flower Fair Framelits.
Ink edges with Baked Brown Sugar.
Make a bow with the Linen Thread.
Position the leaves, Linen Thread bow and flower on the small
panel. Add three Basic Black Candy Dots
to the top right of the card and a Pearl to the flower centre.
Inside of card –
mat the Naturals Ivory (make sure edges have been inked with Baked Brown Sugar)
onto the Basic Black. Adhere to inside
of card. You can decorate with a strip
of DSP or by making another flower.
