Happy Friday, friends!
Ahhh....no alarms to be set tomorrow. Now, if we could just convince the three dogs, and our two old bodies that there's no need to get up at O-Dark-Thirty!
I have a 10 minute card to share with you today. I saw that Sugar Creek Hollow was having a vellum challenge, and it sounded enticing. I really can't remember the last time I crafted with a sheet of vellum. Here's my card.
 |
| This was really difficult to photograph, so I included two photos, hoping to show that all of the leaves are embossed. |
I began by scoring and folding my card. I cut a piece of Vellum, stamping the sentiment first. Then, I randomly stamped three different leaves on the vellum. While the ink was still wet, I covered the entire surface with Transcendence embossing powder, and quickly tapped of the excess and heat embossed. The vellum piece was attached to patterned paper with staples, then attached to the card front.
Ten minutes...gotta love it!
Supplies: Vellum, Kaleidacolor Autum Leaves Ink, Brown Staz-On Ink, Tim Holtz Tiny Stapler, Transcendence Embossing Powder, Kraft Cardstock, DCWV Autumn Matstack
Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions about today's card, please feel free to ask.
Have a great weekend,
Patti J.

This is beautiful! Truly a fantastic card!
I never think of using vellum...the results are always so nice and your card is no exception, Patti.
So pretty! Love how the fall colors are peeking through the vellum and embossed leaves. I haven't used vellum in a long time...mus try it again this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great week! TFS!
Beautiful!!!
Oh, Patti...that is just lovely!
Oh wow Patti, those leaves are sooooo pretty! Love the vellum effect!
And yes, I'm hoping for a lie in tomorrow too ... how come its an absolute drag getting out of bed during the week at 6.30, and yet on Saturday's I'm wide awake at that time!!
Totally gorgeous card Patti, never knew you could heat emboss on vellum, always thought it would burn. Love the great words also. x
This is beautiful!
Your card is gorgeous! I love the pretty leaves embossed on the vellum. I have never heard of that type of embossing powder.
I am looking forward to no alarm at 5:45am myself for a couple days, but I will probably wake up anyway and with the time change I will be awake in the middle of the night! D'oh!
Thanks for sharing your pretty card! :)
Patti - this is absolutely gorgeous!
Stunning card, Patti! Gotta love those beautiful leaves!!
Always forget to use vellum for much else than sentiments. For some reason I'm fond of stamping and heat embossing sentiments on vellum then cutting them out before attaching. Pretty!

Wow -- how impressive and gorgeous! This really is a show stopper, Patti. Beautiful fall creation.
This is one amazing use of vellum! I love the whole feel of it!

I haven't worked on vellum in forever either and I love how the colors of the patterned paper show through. This look is wonderful! It's 6pm and we are almost home! yeah! We ended up staying an extra day since my daughter was there. I hope you have had a fabulous weekend!
Patti, can't believe I am just now finding your card, so sorry. I love the embossed leaves and sentiment on your vellumn and the dp peeking through. I am so happy that you played at Sugar Creek Hollow this week with us.

Oh my -- this is simply STUNNING, Patti! You captured Fall perfectly in this card, in all it's glory. And just 10 minutes? Seriously? Might have to give this technique a try. Thanks so much for sharing!
