I am absolutely smitten by this gorgeous card by atomicbutterfly: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I just had to CASE it. I love shadowbox effects, so this is what I came up with for it. The frame part is on double dimensionals, and the Dogwood blossoms are on single dimensionals.
I stamped the flowers in Stazon Timber Brown on cardstock vellum, colored on the back with markers. I stamped them again on white cardstock, ran the vellum image through my xyron and then adhered it over the cardstock image and cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered the microbeads over a small dab of Crystal Effects and applied yellow stickles over the top.
This is a birthday card for a dear friend's very elegant mother who loves flowering Dogwood trees.

This is phenomenal! I love how the embossing on vellum, layered on white, gives such a nice soft border. The white shading just makes the whole card 'sweet and sugary'.
