I've been frugal this week and rummaged through my scraps from my scrapbooking days to find bits of vellum for this card. I'd got an idea and wanted to run with it, I'm not the kinda gal who just wings it... tried that, disasters happen and patience wanes very quickly.
Pretty straight forward, stamped lots of flowers and leaves with Versamark and heat embossed in white. On the reverse I watercolour with Zigs and die cut them... hindsight would suggest to not cut out vellum once its been heat embossed and wet - it cracks but bugger it, I had spent a lot of time colouring and unless you have a really critical eye you can't see it that much.
I'm not sure I like this card but hubby says its lovely so that will do for me but to be fair, I could toss a load of paper onto cardstock and he'd still say the same thing :)
