CAS Mix Up June 2020 - Embossed Vellum

Hello friends.  I'm playing along with the current challenge over at CAS Mix Up and this month they are looking for EMBOSSED VELLUM.


I received an embossing folder for my birthday back in February from my sweet friend Birgit that I had not used yet, so along with some heavy weight vellum from PTI and the new embossing folder, I came up with this card...


I wish I could tell you the name of the embossing folder, but unfortunately I threw the packaging away without thinking about it, and now I have no idea!  Grrrr!!  But anyway, I love the look of these blooms (Hibiscus maybe??) embossed with the vellum...so crisp and clean looking!!  I do have to be honest here and tell you that the first one I embossed I used my Copic markers on the backside to color, and I was NOT happy with the end result at all!!  It looked too streaky!!  So I embossed another one and decided to keep it very CAS!!


I attached the vellum to a top folding white card base just at the corners, and then added a gray embossed frame (SU!'s Subtle embossing folder with PTI's Pierced Frame Dies) so that the whole card wasn't white but the frame is still a neutral color.  I used my MISTI to make sure I got my sentiment straight (Stamp Simply's Words of Encouragement) and then finished with a couple clear sequins.  There's not much color to this card but I think it will work beautifully for a sympathy card.

The DT has so many BEAUTIFUL cards to inspire you this month, so check them all out and then play along right HERE.  This challenge is open till the 24th.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Leaving it uncoloured really shows off the beautiful design of your dry embossing. The clean look with white and gray is so elegant, Marcia! Great work, my friend! xx
