Well today is the 5th weekend in the month.
I generally have 4 scheduled challenges a month for My Time To Create Challenge Team.
I let them opt to take a break this week! I should have taken one myself! LOL!
Anyway-I decided to do a technique challenge instead. I hope you find it fun and inspiring 😀
Dry Embossed Vellum
I LOVE using Vellum Cardstock. Today’s challenge is to DRY EMBOSS it!
If you play link your creation HERE
Here is who is playing:
Me
Here is a quick video to give you the HOW TO! My card for this technique uses a stamp set from My Favorite Things Presents: Sara Williams Spring Sprouts.Bloomin vellum
I had just picked up this fun and funky patterned paper. I felt that the flower and butterfly from this set not only MATCHED my paper, but showcased how fun and EASY this technique can be!
The open lines of the flower and butterfly are raised up. So cute in person.
All you need is:
An OPEN line image
Permanent ink
Vellum Carstock
Embossing Stylus with mouse pad/embossing/piercing pad
Copic or other markers
Close up dry embossed vellum detail
Obviously it is very difficult for you to get a visual of the actual effect this has on your creation, but trust me, its that little extra POP that makes it a WOW! The detail is raised up and pops out at you!
A fun and easy technique.
Just stamp you image in permanent ink.
Turn over
Dry emboss area/areas of choice (don’t press too hard!)
Flip over to front, and gently color!
Use glue dots to adhere to layer of choice-
and DONE!
Now its YOUR turn.
So have fun with it.
I cannot wait to see what YOU come up with.

I also love dry embossing on vellum. Very pretty.
Sorry forgot to add my address
very pretty! i will have to get some of the vellum cardstock and try this.
*tee hee* guess I should have watched the video first. I colored from the BACK not the front. Love your card Lauren. You are amazing – really. Thanks for a great video.
Love the card, Lauren. Your colors, the patterned paper, the stitching – AWESOME! The video turned out great! I knew to color on the front for the best result, BUT…the white flowers on my card were so pretty, I didn’t want to ruin them :O) I do that when I sketch something that I intend to turn into a charcoal drawing or a painting also…I start sketching in pencil, and I like it so much, I start shading…and before long, well, I don’t want to ruin it so I end up with a slew of pencil drawings! LOL
I’m rambling…must be because I have the house to myself…and my puppies :O) Have a great night! GREAT technique challenge! I for one, hope you keep them on the fifth week of the month! Let one of us take over the challenge if you get too busy, like Pam suggested. We’re more than happy to pitch in.
Okay…rambling again.
Ah, color from the front! I was coloring on the back and the colors were so washed out! I didn’t want to enter something that didn’t look very good! I’ll have to give it another go! Thanks, Lauren!
I posted my card via Mr. Linky. Your card is adorable and the video is easy to understand. I never think about embossing wth a stylus…gotta try that. I always take the easy out and use my Cuttlebug.
Relax with your family for the rest of the weekend.
Sorry Lauren I did the card and then when you posted your video realised I had done it wrong too – I coloured on the back. I am not disappointed though with the finished card so posted it up. Here is the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1364327?cat=500&ppuser=132530
