Polar Bears on Vellum

Here is another card I made using my "new" set called Polar Bears. I stamped the image on vellum card stock with versa mark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. To create the dimension on the polar bears I used a stylus on the reverse side of the image and with gentle pressure rubbed the stylus over the bear images only. Be sure to use the foam from you mat pack or a mouse pad because you want to have some give in the vellum to create the dimension. You are basically embossing the images.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Polar Bears
Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, Vellum Card Stock
Ink: Versa Mark, Brilliant Blue, Real Red Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Swirl Embossing Folder, Stylus, Scallop Border Punch, Dimensionals

Elements of Style in Amethyst

My card was totally inspired by this card I saw on Splitcoast. Karen Barber does amazing work! I was nervous putting the vellum card stock through the xyron machine after I had it all colored. I figured that if it didn't work then I would just make something else. I'm so please with the way it turned out. I love the technique of the double embossing and I'm sure I'll try this again. I made this for my sister's birthday and even though I've never actually seen a purple rose it's my sister's favorite color so I went with it.
