This is the silly birthday card I made for DH. It incorporates a technique demonstrated in the OCC Sheer and Clear - embossing vellum.
I began by using the MISTI to stamp the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloring with Spectrum Noir markers. Since I left the stamp in the MISTI, it was easy to place the image back into the MISTI and stamp again with VersaFine Onyx Black and heat emboss using clear ep.
After trimming the image and attaching all the layers to the card front, I embossed a piece of vellum and cut off the top portion to use for the sentiment. Star sequins were adhered with Ranger Multi Medium Matte, and the vellum was attached with dots of adhesive behind the sequins. I added a few more stars on the image itself.
As always, thanks for looking!

JodyLynn, this is such an amazing creation that I am going to have to look up synonyms for gorgeous. You did such an awesome job with that 2 step stamping...something I have been wanting to try, but my lazy side keeps getying in the way. You colored this beautifully, and it is such a fun image. What a perfect card for DH. Into my favs.

I can see why this was another week's favorite. It's just as sweet as can be, Jody. Love that image but it's really your masterful coloring skills that cause it to take on a meaning of its own.
