CAS Mix Up Challenge - June 2020 - Embossed Vellum - Orange Bloom

Hello Everyone,
It's the 1st of June and we have a fun new Challenge at CAS Mix Up, I am Host and challenging you to use  Embossed Vellum. We welcome Bonnie as our Guest Designer this month.
We also have some changes happening, a new Design for the Blog and a new Format, some New Design Team Members, and Loll has decided to combine the CAS Mix Up, Water colouring and  Stencil challenges into one.  Each month will be a different technique style and repeated.  The Christmas Challenge will remain.
After Heat embossing the flower with Orange E/Powder I used a stylus to emboss the image from the reverse side, using waxed paper to help improve the movement of the stylus.  I love how the Vellum puffs up and changes it's colour giving the image a 3D look.  I then backed the flower with an Orange mat and die cut the circle sandwiching it to the front of my card.  I finished off with the Heat Embossed Sentiment and Stamping on the inside of my card.

  4. That heat embossing makes the flower look lovely and frilly and the dry embossing with the stylus, adds depth and dimension. I love the sentiment in the same orange and the little flower detail inside. Great choice of challenge, I enjoyed this one. Thanks xx

  7. Thanks so much for the warm welcome and especially for the reminder to have fun with vellum. It is so under used and rated. Your creation here is the perfect example. Where else could you get this effect? Plus your heat embossed sentiment makes the colors play happy together.

  11. What a gorgeous embossed vellum bloom, Susan! The bright and shiny orange heat-embossing, the white embossed petals, and the translucent orange of the circle window are so effective, interesting, and yet simple!
