A Vellum Thank You

 Old Calypso Lagoon 

For the color challenge over at Splitcoaststampers the hostess presented us with the colors

OLD OLIVE, CALYPSO CORAL, LOST LAGOON

I stamped in versamark onto vellum and heat embossed the image. At first this was not one of my favorite stamps and so I wanted to try some -close-to-the- colors above on the back side of the embossed vellum floral image. I tore the bottom edge for no specific reason and tied some lightweight ribbon with wire from Michaels around the front. I actually like the way this one turned out. 

Whatever You're Celebrating...

CASology Week 87: BLUSH 

I didn't think much outside the box so "blush" for me today is soft pink.

 I inked up the large rose wood mount rubber stamp by Impression Obsession using 

Faber Castell PITT artist pens in medium flesh and pink madder lake for the flower and Distress Inks shabby shutters and forest moss for the leaves. I spritzed with water, stamped, let dry, stamped script image and heat embossed in white and fussy cut. 

The bottom right corner is a vellum panel. This card can easily be massed produced. You can get a couple of watercolored roses at a time. I actually like fussy cutting. The card base measures 3⅞” x 5⅜” so that the flower can be off the page and card can easily fit in an A2 envelope.
