This month's challenge is for Mixed Media and is hosted by Susan (Cat's Inkcorporated). Susan wants us to have a play with embossing vellum.
I mounted my watercoloured, heat embossed vellum onto a piece of acetate for stability. Then popped it up over my card base with a thin white frame.

CAS Mix Up June Challenge - Embossed Vellum
I think the vibrancy of your colours is amazing, they look so good with the silver heat embossing. What a good idea to use acetate to support the vellum - good thinking xx
ReplyDeleteThe silver adds the perfect accent to this beautifully watercoloured bouquet. All the pop of colour off the edge make for a very special appeal. The gradation of the petals are well noted and gives lovely highlights. Gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful stamp Loll outlined with it's silver embossing and perfectly watercoloured. Gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteOh my, Loll, this is extraordinarily gorgeous stamped on that vellum! and the Platinum? Stunning!!! The magicals still escape me, but my brain is working on this already!
ReplyDelete=]
This looks so dreamy and ethereal, Loll. Love the color on vellum. I have never successfully heat embossed vellum. Maybe what I have is too thin. This turned out fabulously!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information about the magicals x. What a fabulous card and stunningly beautiful x. The effect of the heat embossing looks amazing Loll x.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty with the silver embossing and lovely coloring of your flowers Loll! A great first challenge for the new CAS blog! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful soft colors dear friend! I love the elegance of the heat embossing and all that dreamy vellum! A beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Loll and a great idea to use a piece of acetate with the parchment to give it more substance within the popped up frame, and just love the beautiful Magicals colours, so bright and pretty using that super flower image from WPLUS9.
ReplyDeleteLiquid platinum you say? Now I have to have some. And those Magicals...their names are as dramatic as they are.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty, Loll! Love the window look to this and the pretty flowers
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Loll, I love the stained glass window effect of stamping and colouring on the vellum :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous vellum card Loll, love the magicals on the Platinum embossed flowers (Magicals are a medium I have never seen in person) beautiful stamped image.
ReplyDeleteIt's like stained glass and so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours on the flowers - I have magicals, and did not know that they will stay on vellum! I must have a play, thank you for the inspiration Loll.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Gorgeous stamped and heat embossing on vellum with your liquid platinum eb powder, Lolly! I can just imagine all the beautiful shine from your Magicals watercolored flowers too. Congratulations on the wonderful reorganizing of your awesome CAS Challenges, my friend. Now more time for you to play:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the vibrant colours and the platinum embossing just makes it even more special xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful heat embossing on the vellum and gorgeous bright colours! Love this challenge!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms and I love your watercoloring, especially with your platinum embossing! Great idea to use a piece of acetate to add stability...Thanks! Barb xx
ReplyDeleteThe Magicals are really magical, Loll, leaving such vibrant color on the vellum.
ReplyDeleteOooh, this is so beautiful! I sure didn't know that about the Magicals, but I don't know much of anything about Magicals, actually. I do know that I absolutely love your card!
ReplyDeletegorgeous card....elegant and beautiful

Simply gorgeous Loll. Love the bright colours. Those Magical's are 'magic'.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and elegant! I love the colours too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vellum flower card, Loll! I love the vibrancy of Magicals, the translucency of the vellum, and the shininess of the metallic heat-embossing! I'm sure the shimmer from the Magicals must be prettier in real life too. When I read that you used Magicals on vellum, I immediately wondered if Magicals stayed permanent. I'm so glad that you shared with us that it did stay permanent. I'd love to try my Magicals on vellum myself soon.
ReplyDeleteMounting the vellum piece onto acetate for stability is a wonderful idea!

ReplyDeleteSo very pretty, Loll ... the shimmer from the magicals is fabulous with the platinum embossing! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at this card and reading - looking at it again and reading. I do love it and of course I do not have any of the supplies!
ReplyDeleteOh woe is me!!!!
