CCEE1220


Charlene, my dear friend, caused me angst this week.  She challenged the CCEE Stampers to use vellum with either heat or dry embossing.  The angst was caused in a few ways....first of which was to find my vellum....something I rarely use. After several attempts it was finally located....then I knew (or thought I knew) what I wanted to do and went to work.....failure, followed by failure, followed by frunstration.....then change of plans....and finally, success.  I should have gone the easy way right away, but live and learn, right????

My image and sentiment are from two sets by Flourishes.

Now,  I can't wait to see what the rest of the team created.  I definitely need some 'vellum inspiration'....how about you????  Well....let's all travel over to the CCEE Stampers Blog and check the creations out!!!!!

I'm sorry for all your frustration - the only thing to do at times like that is look on it as a learning experience, I reckon. You certainly ended up with a gorgeous card showing all of your customary flair and style.

Yes, Charlene really challenges us, doesn't she? Then, I suppose that is the name of the game. Love what you ended up with...it's a beautiful card.

What a lovely card, adorable image and such a beautiful flower! Vellum does not like me - so I rarely use it!!
