I made this card for Lauren Meader's My Time To Create TECHNIQUE (MTTCT01) challenge :O)
The challenge is embossed vellum cardstock! The guidelines were to stamp on vellum cardstock, turn it over and dry emboss open areas from the back. Then color with markers. Gives a nice pop! As you can see, I didn't exactly follow the guidelines, but I love the white petals :O) You can view all the details about my card on my blog, Mindless Creativity.
Hope you can play along!

Beautiful use of one of my favorite sets. I would never have thought of embossing, but now must go play around. My mother's birthday is coming up, and I see a case of your card in her future...Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work.
