The scan doesn't do this card justice. I stamped the image in vellum cardstock, then on the back, use the stylus to emboss the white areas, pressing hard enough to pop the petals out on the front, but being careful not to punch through. I embossed the roses, but not the leaves. Then, still on the back, I used markers to color in the image. The corners are simple photo mounts that I colored by pressing into the Blush Blossom pad. I attached the vellum to the white CS using mono adhesive behind the colored leaves. I REALLY wish you could see the dimension and color on this card. When you see it, you just HAVE to touch!

Gorgeous! You did a beautiful job, and I know what you mean about scans not doing justice to this dry embossed vellum technique, because I've been doing it recently. I love the beautiful effect it creates. And yes, you just have to touch it. TFS. Linda
