Make it Monday #144: Heat Embossing on Vellum
Papertrey Ink's challenge this week is to use heat embossing on Vellum. Melissa created a wonderful card as a demo, seen here. I am a traditionalist, but I decided to go "outside the box", and use some non-traditional colours for my card. I used Postmarks: Holiday stamp set (PTI) and embossed three trees using silver, gold and copper embossing powders. For the sentiment, I used a Think Big Favourites (PTI), stamped in Versafine Black ink, and embossed it with clear powder. The snowflakes are from Lawn Fawn, and the copper and pearl embellies are from my stash. The cardstock is Hawaiian Shores, from PTI, which coordinated with the snowflakes really well. I also broke out my PTI shimmer cardstock, in copper, to use a a background mat for my vellum. The shimmer cardstock is gorgeous--I love it!! I heat embossed the sentiment inside, in copper, as well, on white paper.
