Thanks, Joan for this challenge. I have a huge pack of OD Green 12x12 Vellum that I bought in my excitement at a Stamp fair many moons ago and today I got to use some. It's nice vellum, but how much vellum can one person use? So I ran the large leaf through the cuttlebug. Then I put the VersaMark directly onto the raised parts and embossed gold the large leaf and the strip on the bottom. - Ran it through the Cuttlebug too
It looked too flat and plain, so I tore off one side and put a pretty magenta underneath. Now it's wild. Picture doesn't show it well. I like it. How about you?

I'm crazy about that leaf! What a brilliant use of vellum, Carol and how much you added to it with your techniques! Love that torn edge on your background too!

I like it a lot, Carol. I looked at it before work this morning but didn't want to leave a comment till I had a little more time.
Some people can't have enough vellum, sigh...years ago I bought some fabulous really heavy stuff, almost cardstock weight. In a regular stationery store. They've never had it again, and even the heavy stuff I got mail order just last week isn't quite as good, though it's close.
I love the cracked texture in the big leaf contrasting with the cup-holder one, and the torn edge is perfect with the outdoorsy feel to this.
