Hi everyone, this month Group of Seven Cardmakers are using Velum and embossing (Dry, Heat and Pastes) as the product and technique to try.
For my cards I have used Dry (using an Embossing Folder) and Heat Embossing. The thicker velum handles the dry embossing much better and doesn't seem to crack when you emboss it..
Card #1, Simon Says Stamp Embossing folder, Stampers Anonymous Sentiment. The embossed area was placed over blue card and mounted on a white base.
I hope you find some velum and play along with us.

I love the soft look of these cards. so pretty xx
Two creative designs with vellum Christine! What a beautiful embossed wreath you used on your first card backed in blue with the blue stamped sentiment - so softly pretty! And your combination of stamping and embossing on your framed panel is beautiful! Julia xx
Your first card is AMAZING. LOVELY embossed design and looks beautiful over top of your blue card base. The sentiment fits perfectly in the center space of the design. Beautiful CAS design with your double stamped vellum. Stamping on both sides adds so much depth. It's a fantastic technique and you've done it to perfection! xx
The embossing folder you used on this first card is perfect with the vellum! Such a classy card! Love the leaves and aperture on the second card using one of my favorite techniques!
Both your Vellum cards are so different and yet so beautiful, Christine:-) Thank you for sharing your techniques....I LOVE both cards:-) Happy Fall:-)
You girls always have the best inspiration with your fun techniques! Terrific cards, Christine!
Two real beauties Christine and love the blue behind the pretty pinecone leaves and berries EF on the first seasonal card, and then the second, definitely my favourite with the fabulous white embossed leaves on the front, and the same leaves stamped in that pretty blue on the back, and looking wonderful placed behind the rectangular aperture, also a lovely added sentiment in blue..so elegant. x
Oh, my, it does turn out beautiful! I still have that SU sentiment set. The technique used in your second card is one I've had bookmarked since I first saw it. My mantra has become "can't do everything at once". Gorgeous cards, Christine!
Both are beautiful. I think dry embossed vellum is always so elegant.
I love owls and this one is really cute. I love your background, I think the combination of the background from the print with the oxides gave an amazing effect. I definitely need to improve my plant prints by adding oxides to them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs,
