Beautiful!!! I love it and I'm sure Nancy will too... I've never sprayed vellum - Thanks for the inspiration my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of vellum and this beaded garland EF (on it's side!) Never thought to ink on the back of vellum - what a great background you created Hideko! A lovely card for Nancy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and elegant ... just like Nancy! LOVE the colours of your gorgeous vellum panel Hideko. The dry embossing is so pretty and delicate looking. The gold sentiment and sequins make this even more special. Thanks for joining Nancy's Birthday Party! Love, Loll
ReplyDeleteHideko, you can't imagine how long that embossing folder has been on my wish list!! Perfect for celebrating anything at all... especially Nancy's birthday!! LOve the glimmer and shimmer of the sprayed vellum, and your gold is the perfect final touch!

The colors have blended so beautifully on the vellum, Hideko! Love the festive dry embossing, gold embossed sentiment and pretty frame! A beautiful and festive card, my friend! I'm sure Nancy is enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you sprayed the vellum! Great embossing folder and great placement of the sequins.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card for our friend Nancy x. I love how you did the vellum with the sprays, dry embossing and heat embossing and not a warp in site. So creative and absolutely stunning x.
ReplyDeleteI love that everyone is making cards for Nancy's birthday! Your card is delicate and just so beautiful - every texture and detail is perfect. Vicky x

ReplyDeletewow amazing delicate effect with the vellum and the sprays. Nancy will love the card :)

ReplyDeleteOooh, boy, I've been avoiding getting those sprays, but now that I see how it gives vellum a new purpose in life, you may have enabled me, Hideko! This is truly gorgeous! The e/f you chose is perfect! Take care! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Hideko, those strings of embossing on the sprayed vellum look like strings of pearls.. and beautifully and simply finished with gold embossing and sequins... love it... hugs Robyn
