SWEETEST WISHES

This card was made using new stamps for May from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS called Air Flair. I also used new cardstock from the paper line at CDS called Sweet Pea and Sweet Cheeks.

I made this card for today's Try A New Technique Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers to Emboss on Vellum. I used my Divine Swirls embossing folder and embossed on my vellum cardstock. I layered over some Sweet Pea Cardstock from CDS which is new. I thought it muted the color rather nicely. (It looks better in real life....for some reason I couldn't get a good picture today)

This card also qualifies for this weeks Featured Stamper Michelle! I chose THIS card of hers to case. I loved how she used the Chalkboard Technique. I think I need a bit more practice at this technique...but was happy with the soft looking results.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~ Air Flair

Paper: Clear Dollar Stamps: Sweet Cheeks, Sweet Pea, SU~Chocolate Chip, Vellum

Ink: White Staz-On
