DAWN!!! Congratulations! I can't seem to find an email for you, so if you could email me (link in sidebar), I will get your stamps out to you right away! :) And thanks again everyone for playing. More give-aways to come soon. :)

Here's a real quick card I did for a "sheer/transparency" publication assignment over at SNR. The floral panel underneath was stamped with various SU! images and inks, and the sentiment was stamped on the vellum and heat embossed (click to see larger):


Just a real simple one here. The inks I used are actually very vibrant, but with the vellum overlay, they look much softer. A tip when heat embossing on vellum: try to use vellum card stock and detail embossing powder if at all possible. Vellum card stock is thicker and more resistant to warping, and the finer granules in detail EP will usually melt faster, and therefore lessen the chances of warping your vellum as well. Also, keep your heat gun at a considerable distance and in motion during the entire process. It takes time to emboss on vellum, so patience is key... but the results will definitely be worth it. ;)

Thanks again for peekin' in today. Hope your weekend was a good one! :)
