Today is the TLC's 9th anniversary. Joan Ervin asked us to use vellum on our cards and either dry emboss or heat emboss it. I shaded a piece of white paper with TH's Peacock. Heat embossed my design on the vellum with white EP, then mounted it on this shaded paper....and went from there.

Sallie, this is stunning to say the least. Such a great idea to mount the vellum on to a shaded BG. Gives it a muted effect. And the white embossing looks wonderful on the vellum. A beautiful card and into my faves for future inspiration.
