Vellum and Metallic Rub Ons


I made this card for my daughter-in-laws upcoming birthday.  I punched the flower out of white vellum that had a gold and silver fleck in it, then I put the vellum petals through my big shot in an embossing folder.  

The background papers is glossy card stock run through the big shot in an embossing folded then rubbed with metallic gold embossing paste which I added with my fingers.   I like the effect.  To complete the card I added a pretty button for the center of the flower and some silver ribbon.     

The card is very simple but I think very pretty. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day.

    Judy, this is one of the prettiest cards I've ever seen! I say that sincerely because I love the different mediums you have used! I actually own that same vellum, and some of the paste, so would love CASEing your card. Of course, I will refer back to you. I imagine your DIL loved her gorgeous card! So pretty!
