CAS-ual Friday with Vellum

I love CAS-ual Fridays and I'm so happy whenever I get a chance to play!


CFC57: Create a Clean And Simple project using acetate or vellum


I know y'all must be sick of my over-use of butterflies. I'm sorry. I just HAD to use them with the vellum.
I went for a Letterpress look with this card. I inked up the embossing folder with my Amuse ink and cranked it through the Big Shot. It's not perfect, but it's a cool effect.


I die cut the vellum butterflies and glued them over the butterfly images. I used white vellum on the bottom three and the top tiny one is pink vellum.


I love the 3-D effect the butterflies give it!
 I made another card with the same products but different colors and layout. I'll try to post it tomorrow. Hope you are having a good weekend!

Stamps: PTI Beautiful Butterflies
Ink: Amuse Slate, Sugar
Paper: PTI White, SU Pretty in Pink, Vellum
Misc: Amuse Butterfly Dies, Darice embossing folder

  11. Susan, I love what you've done with the embossing and ink. It looks professionally done! I have tried this technique and failed miserably - just a big ole mess. The pink and white color scheme also goes really well with the vellum butterflies. Thanks so very much for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays this week!
