CCEE Challenge - 5-17-2012





Charlene has handed us the challenge this week at CCEE to emboss (heat or dry) vellum on our cards. I have never really had much luck working with vellum and I'm not overly enthused about this card, but as they say, it is what it is. I don't have much time right now to make another, as I am still playing catch up from vacation. Drop by CCEE and check out the really gorgeous projects from the other DT members - they all know how to work with vellum!! You can also make up your card and link it up at CCEE. We look forward to seeing you!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: Oopsy Daisy by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.
Paper: All papers MFP (except vellum)
Ink: Copics: Y18, 08, 06, 04, 02, 00; Y38; YG25, 23, 21 and R27
Accessories: MFP ribbon; SU picture corner punch and Ranger Black Sparkling Embossing Powder

Thanks for having a look - later gator!

  13. Two great cards Kathy! I really love the first one. You created a great scene out the window and I love the way you did the window itself. Your second card is very pretty - I don't know why you don't like it much! The bow at the top is the perfect finishing touch.

  23. It looks like you did a pretty good job to me heat embossing your sentiment on your beautiful sympathy card, Kathy! I like how you framed it with the photo corner punches (great idea for hiding the tape for vellum, too!)

    Your double window card is magnificent, too! You've been busy!
