For my card, I wanted to see if I could use a digi image on vellum. I began by taking Make It Crafty Tulip digi image into Adobe Photoshop Elements. I changed the color of the outline to a light gray then using a highest quality setting, I printed it onto 36# vellum. For my first attempts, I heat embossed it with Silver Detail embossing powder, which worked fabulously. But I decided I did not like the silver outline and just printed it in light gray for this card. Working from the back side of the image, I rubbed the vellum with wax paper, then dry embossed the outlines, basically just traced it. This creates a raised white image on the front of the vellum. Then I colored the tulips, again from the back side, with Memento markers. I added some embossed dots, backed it with navy card stock and then slid it into the corner punches of my green card stock. Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
