One Giant Egg

This is actually one of the first pics I colored with the copics. I know there is a bit of bleeding. Please don't be too harsh. Paper: SU DSP, tempting turquoise, apricot appeal, gable green stamps: High Hopes- bunny masterpiece, SU-eggcrouments Punches: SU! scallop border, tag small and large. I did some faux stitching around the outer edge, not so sure how I like that, but it is growing on me. Now I just need a chocolate bunny, and this card is ready to make some bunny smile (ha ha couldn't pass up the pun)

This is an embossing technique. Actually the one I am going to do at my workshops in November. Anyway I can't give away too many secrets but you use vellum. I don't know if this technique has a name yet. I am sure someone has named it though. We'll call it vellum embossing. Actually, I have been asked to reveal the secret, so I will. Very easy to do. Very stunning.

1-Using Stazon white stamp your image on vellum, allow to dry.

2-Turn your vellum piece over onto a mouse pad type surface. Using your embossing stylus outline your image. Then sponge color over on top with classic or craft ink. I used bordering blue, to match my background paper.

3-Turn you vellum back over (now the stamped side is up, and the embossing is popping out, the color is behind) and finish your card.

I used the scallop punch on the vellum, then poked the bottom giving it a lacy look. Then tied a bashful blue ribbon to the top, stamped the phrase in Stazon Black. Then adhered it to my bordering blue cardstock. I didn't dry emboss all of the snowflakes just some for character. Thanks for the praise and comments on this card.

This card was really a lot of fun to make. I love how the Faux stitching bring out the card. It also has two of my favorite colors. Turquoise, and Pixie Pink. My family does a lot of camping so I can use this card in varied colors, for both my side and my husbands.
