This is one of the cards I designed for a Cheery Cherry Swap.
The cherries on the vellum pocket are made using the dry embossed vellum technique----so neat IRL! Stamp the image on card stock vellum, lay vellum on a mouse pad, outline the image with a small stylus, turn vellum over, rub and press the image inside the outlined marks to make a raised image on the front of the vellum. Then color the inside and out side of image as desired using markers. It feels so neat----you just want to keep running your fingers over the raised images.
I atached the vellum with glue dots hidden behind the strategically placed cherries.
TFL!
