Some of the gals on the CC thread challenged us to stamp using a set that is heinous - that is - images that are so shocking that we don't know why we purchased them in the first place! LOL One gal's heinous is sure to be another gal's treasure! LOL Here are my 3 cards.
I chose Heart Flutters because it has a crooked border around one of the images that drives me crazy! Another featured set is Sew Seasonal - as a quilter I thought I would like it, but never could get it to work for me. The last featured set is Fresh Fruits - I was dying to get it and I paid almost twice the price for it! Yikes! ! ! !
These Vellum designs have been around a long time. I have some in my favs from Julie HRR and Jen Balcher from a few years ago. It's fun going through the favs! PS: The tag says *welcome*.
Thanx for lookin!

oh my goodness..I loved Fresh Fruits...hunted for it...so I didn't pay double...haha...but I still like it! What you should try is the rock n roll method for inking these images up. It looks really nice.

I can understand why you would think this one wasn't 'up to par'. However, if you put any image over a cb embossed card, like you did here, it can be made to look good.
