For this card I was inspired by Kay Kalthoff's card here: http://www.stampingtoshare.com/2014/...er-vellum.html. I was also playing along with the challenges for today - the flower is heat embossed on vellum and it represents my love of gardening this time of year. On the blue panel, I dry embossed it first and then dragged the white craft ink over it for a shabby chic look. Hope you enjoy!

I just love the colors on this. Never thought to drag craft ink over embossing! Clever! And that heat embossed flower is gorgeous! I don't do enough heat embossing on vellum, and it's really so beautiful. You have inspired me!
