This is one of those cards that didn't quite turn out as I planned, but I still like how it came out! My plan was to emboss the vellum and then sponge it just enough to make it pop on the Smoky Slate background... buuut the sponging wasn't as dark as I wanted, so I decided to take my brand new Basic Gray ink pad and swipe it over the embossed chevron... well, this is apparently the juiciest ink pad EVER so that made a bit of a mess. I tried to take a q-tip and clean up the parts I didn't want inked as much as possible. Once the vellum dried, I layered it (inked side down!) on a piece of Smoky Slate, which I then put on a Basic Gray base. The banner is popped up on Dimensionals, so is the cupcake.
