Hello everyone: I love Vellum, I love how it softens an image or a background and it also adds a touch of elegance to handmade cards.
I have an old Pergamano kit I bought a long time ago that has some really pretty patterns to emboss on Vellum or Parchment Paper so I decided to create a card following one of these patterns and hand emboss a piece of Vellum, so here is my card, hope you like it, I will play along with a few challenges at the end of this post.
Seize the Birthday
Always Happy Birthday October Challenge
Happy Little Stampers
Sunny Day Crafting "Must include an animal" I included a butterfly.
Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.
This is the kit I bought a few years ago, I tried to look for it again but the two Amazon sites, one in Europe and one here in the USA lists it as CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.
I apologize for not giving this information when I posted this card.

I just die cut a piece of Vellum with the Wonky Stitched die set and carefully traced the images and the sentiment with a white gel pen, then, I went over each with my stylus, flicking the edge of the petals to get that white effect and retracing the outline of all of the images.
Then I added some color to the back of the Vellum with some Prismacolor pencils.
I attached the Vellum with glue dots to a panel of black card stock and added some Rhine Stones to cover them, I also added gold ones to the centers of the flowers.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The edge is stamped with the retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment and the flower on the corner are from a The Ton set called Beautiful Day.
I'm playing along with the following challenges.

So soft and lovely. The Vellum is a winner for sure . The stitching is the star !!
What amazing detail you can add in by hand embossing Maria. I love how you added additional complexity by colouring the flowers - they are very pretty! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
