I smooshed brushos onto vellum for my background. Once dry, I glued the vellum onto a piece of white card stock to keep it flat. I ran it through my embosser with a Snowflake embossing folder ... upside-down, so I have a debossed design. I love the satiny look the vellum gives to the background.
Mounted this sweet framed deer scene die from Poppy Stamps over my background and popped the panel on my card base. The sentiment is stamped in Salty Ocean distress ink.
Here's a close-up ...

This is so sweet, those little deer are adorable. I love the background, the debossed snowflakes look gorgeous especially with all that shimmer xx

ReplyDeleteI read the title and had to see how this card was made. Definitely a new technique giving a sensational BG. That debossed sky has so much shine and sheen. Love that the dear die is minimal, a beautiful design. A blue sentiment adds to the beauty. xxx
ReplyDeleteAmazing Brusho background--absolutely gorgeous, Loll!
ReplyDeleteOh so adorable with the baby deer, Loll! Of course, I love the color, but the debossing with the satin look of vellum looks so cool. Love it. xx
ReplyDeleteThose deer are so sweet, Loll, and that background is amazing. Almost like northern lights.
ReplyDeleteWow, Loll that background is just so gorgeous and it really showcases your sweet deer.
ReplyDeleteYour snowy scene is so pretty colored on vellum, the added textural touch of the dry embossing takes it to another level. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Loll! Vellum + Brusho + Embossing = Totally Inspiring! I'd love to try this technique. The little deer playing each other are so cute. The depth of the debossing makes the snowflakes stand out even with the vibrant Brusho colors. Fantastic effect!
