Clean and Layered?

Hello to all of you! I have explained before that my heart seems to be big enough to love two different totally opposite styles... Even I am amazed with this. Is that right? Is it at all possible to be dual styled? I have no idea... But I feel both come out naturally... It really depends on my mood. 

 Another thing that you might have noticed as well is that I have a crush with vellum lately... LOL. This time, I wanted to try a shadowing technique, using the same stamp in 2 tones of the same color, or sort. And I stamped the image in reflection to fill the front of the card, it just felt right... I heat embossed the sentiment in gold on vellum, which I stained/distressed in pink.
Materials
Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics
Grand Calibur die cut machine
Penny Black: Tweet Tweet
Hero Arts: Friends are Treasures
Memento ink in: Angel Pink, Rose Bud
Inkadinkado embossing powder in Glam Gold
Wow heat tool
Bazic two sided tape and mounting tape
Other generic materials
Heavyweight paper in white
Vellum

So that's it for now. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend!

    This is absolutely stunning- perfection! I love every single thing about your card and keep coming back to 'study' it! I see a case in my future!
    I do not believe there are any rules about having 1 main card style- and a good thing, too, as I bounce back and forth between 4 or 5 different styles! So glad you shared your work with us this week at The Card Concept!

    Beautiful card. Love the embossing on the vellum. Do you use a special weight vellum? I would think vellum would melt with the heating tool.

    Hi again Blue Rose! I found 3 different weights of vellum in my country, one being very heavy but still see through, the medium, which I would consider the most used, and then there's a very very light one, that I didn't get, because that one was just a bit thicker than tissue paper.

    When I have to heat emboss, I test both medium and heavy, I do prefer the heavy weight vellum, but, nevertheless, it's all in how you apply the heat. Try to move the heat tool constantly and furthest you can, that way you'll preserve the integrity of the paper.

    Was that helpful? Your questions are welcomed anytime!

    Thanks for stopping by...

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card. Really with card designing the hard part is figuring out what you want your card to look like in the end but once you have figured out what elements you'll be adding and where you will be placing them the card comes together pretty fast.
