Here's my card:
[How I made the card]
1. Cut a piece of vellum 3" x 3".
2. Put the vellum piece on the card base and gold heat embossed the dahlia on both the vellum and the card base.
3. Watercoloured the dahlia in red.
4. Heat embossed the sentiment in black.
5. Made a frame impression with a mod rectangle die on the card base.
6. Glued the vellum onto the card base and curled up one edge. (The vellum was warping a little, so it was easy to curl it.)
The challenge is open until March 24th.

I really like the gold embossing with the pink water colouring, such a good idea to only cover part of the flower with the vellum, it is so effective xx

Love your unique card Hideko and the way you curled up one edge of the vellum is so creative. The dahlia looks striking and I love how you coloured the square of vellum to pop behind it. Stunning and a very beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Hideko, so pretty and love the technique with the double embossed image and colouring just part of it, beautiful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercoloring on vellum, Hideko. The gold embossing elevates it to elegan status. Love how you “spotlighted” part of the dahlia in your design. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing, artistic card, Hideko! I LOVE the gold embossed dahlia and how it goes beyond the vellum to the card base! The vellum is colored beautifully and curling the corner adds to the artistry! Fantastic card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous vellum and heat embossed dahlia are so creative, my friend. I love how you stamped and heat EB your flower on the card and square piece of vellum. So clever of you to curl the edge of the vellum and watercolor part of the vellum. You amaze me with your beautiful and unique CAS designs. TFS Hideko. Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteThat is clever!! What a stunning result and amazing design!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Hideko! I especially love the natural curl of the vellum from the heat embossing--like it was meant to be!
