It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC10). Silke Ledlow is our challenge hostess this week. She is bringing us a fun challenge that I am sure will be one of your favorites!!!! We are to use our favorite Flourishes stamp set!!!! There are so many fabulous choices to choose from it will be a challenge just to choose. However, never fear, if you do not yet own any Flourishes stamps, please choose your favorite stamp set of all time. Also, check out the Flourishes Blog to find out how you can get some Flourishes Favorites stamps at a special price just for today!!!!
For this card I embossed vellum with white then colored the white embossing with chalks – I think it leaves the neatest look with the the white around the edges. So that the chalk would "take" to the embossing, I sanded it lightly.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Flourishes – Birds and Vines, Flourishes – Mixed Greetings
Paper: Pergamano Vellum, The Paper Company – Solar White – K & Co., – Madeline
Ink: Versamark and White Embossing Powder, Black Memento

Good evening, Becca. This is truly magnificent. I love using vellum, too. You have achieved a rather ethereal look to your card which is so beautiful.

As I scrolled down to the post with this card, my first reaction was, “Ooooo, lovely.” Do you ever make a bad card? The embossed and chalked image on vellum is an interesting technique. I may have to try that out.

Beautiful again Becca. It is hard to come up with different words to describe your amazing work. I love the extra touch — and this is what separates you from the regular average “laurie” card makers — of the white border punched piece below the ribbon. That really adds so much! Great eye!

This card is absolutely stunning….it is so delicate looking and I just love the sweet lace look from the Martha Stewart punch. Guess I will be going to Michael’s today, I just have to have that punch now. Thanks you for sharing your talents.
