Time Out Challenge #305 has opened. It is an "Inspired By" challenge where we are challenged to use a favorite card making technique. Now, if you have been making cards for a while, this may be a really tough choice. Just pick something you love to do and run with it! I recently discovered this 3D Embossing with Vellum technique, and for the moment, it is my favorite!

We are generously sponsored by Top Flight Stamps. Our Challenge Winner, as chosen by our Design Team, will receive a $25.00 store credit to Top Flight along with an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Gundi of Paperielle who has chosen mixed media as the technique for her incredibly beautiful card. Check out her gorgeous work on the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can also link to her project on her blog. Treat yourself to a visit to Paperielle. You will be so glad you did.
Now about my card - I ran across THIS video by Jo Simons where she demonstrates how she embosses vellum without it cracking and gets 2 pieces to play with each time. This works beautifully and I went a little overboard making many panels for future cards. Jo also highlights the vellum panel with white ink to bring the embossed image to life. I just love this effect, and I love the way my attempt turned out.

ReplyDeleteYou've ALWAYS had a way with vellum, my friend! But if Jo took you to this incredible card, I'll be watching that video, too!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your gorgeous birthday card and this beautiful embossing folder... do I have this one? lol

I adore vellum (never let my stash run out) and dry embossing is my favorite card element, but I seldom emboss vellum. Your card is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the link to the video, Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteI watched her great video and now to make a card!
DeleteHoly smokes, Stephanie!!! This is spectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous Stephanie! I love the soft, almost old world look you achieved with the vellum embossing. I loved watching the video and will be sure to try soon. Thanks for the link. I love everything about your beautiful card. Enjoy your weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should love it, Stephanie! I certainly do! It is ethereal and the caramel color background and frame look good enough to lick! Thank you for the tips and the link to the video! And thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy New Year! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeletep.s. And thank you for your note. Hublet is doing very well, working hard and healing like a champ! I'll be back online soon. I hope!🤞
This is gorgeous!!! I might try something like this for a wedding card! Beautiful embossing, and the embossing on the vellum is (chef's kiss)! What a stunner for our challenge that may prompt people to love embossing on vellum!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning and looks so noble. I love the idea, how you used the embossing folder and create a frame.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten how pretty embossing vellum can be, especially when inked with white so thanks for the refresher. Your card is gorgeous, Thanks for sharing at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and please join us again soon!

ReplyDeleteLovely folder for that technique, such an elegant look to your card, it’s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Stephanie, this is amazing! I watched the video. Thanks for linking it. You took it to heart and made such a gorgeous card using the technique.

Stunning - I do love to emboss vellum, but frequently forget! Thank you for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I rarely emboss in vellum because my old machine used to cut unevenly and I'd end up with split vellum. Thank you for reminding me why I NEED to use this technique again. I love the almost vintage feel of your card. Your embossed vellum reminds me of flocked wallpaper (in a good way!) so full of gorgeous texture and softness. Gorgeous
