This is for 2 challenges - the TLC Challenge was to emboss on vellum; the Colour Challenge - Ripples of Old Indigo with dessert to use pearls.
I embossed the vellum, coloured the design on the back using markers and adhered to Island Indigo c/s. Added the ribbon, sentiment using my new banner punch and pearls (so that I could have some dessert!!).
TFL!

This is Awesome!! Before I read your description I was trying to figure out how you did all that coloring. What an amazing effect from an embossing folder on vellum. Thanks for sharing a wonderful idea!

Oh my gosh, this looks like a piece of fine tapestry, and you achieved this by coloring with markers on the back! The red ribbon and outside border accent this beauty to perfection. TFS !

This is such a beautiful work of art...what a fabulous idea to color on the back of the embossed vellum and then to use a darker piece of cardstock to back it....I'll have to give this a try!!!!

Sue, this is such a creative way to include both challenges into your exquisite card. The elaborate design of your EF with the all-over intricate design...then with your careful coloring.....has the feeling of a beautiful art tile. Really a stand-out card.
