There is a meeting with my W.I.N.O.S. group tonight (women in need of stamps) and our challenge was to make a card using vellum. I LOVE heat embossing pretty flowers onto vellum and fussy cutting them out. I find it quite therapeutic. Here is another bouquet that I put together after embossing onto a baby blue vellum that I have in my stash. I thought it would look quite dramatic against the PTI Smokey Shadow cs. The flowers are from 3 different sets...Mama Elephant "Summer Garden" for SSS, a SU 5 petaled beauty, long orphaned from her original set and a SSS set "Thinking of You". The leaves are die cut from a sturdy PTI vellum cs with a very old Spellbinders die. My inspiration is from this card that Lucy Abrams made this week. Thanks Lucy for sharing all of your gorgeous and inspiring talent! I am again linking up to the Time Out challenge. This is my second cup!
Thanks for stopping in and I hope that you are having a great day!
