Experimenting with Vellum while Growing in Unity

Part of the reason I like making things is to build others up and let them know someone sees a little part of what they're going through. We just don't know what struggles someone else may have. 
Being kind and supportive and loving, what's that going to hurt?
I wish all y'all the best.... with all my heart.


So when I am a Growing in Unity gal, I try to stretch my techniques and abilities... for better or worse. This is my first try at heat embossing and playing with vellum. Can't say it is perfection, but it is a start and I'll get better at it with practice. 
Using the Everything More set again with a Sizzix gift bag die. Patterned paper from the Heidi Swapp "Sugar Chic" pack.

    Pretty card! Vellum adds such a great look to a card, and I don't use it often enough. Love the embossed sentiment and I think you did a great job on it! Thanks for sharing your ideas on your GIU week! Had fun popping in to see your creations each day!

    Very pretty card and it's awesome that you are trying new things. My heat embossing on vellum isn't perfect either. I'm always afraid of burning the vellum.
