There is big doin’s going on over at Splitcoaststampers this week. All Fan Club members are invited to play along for special challenges posted by the Dirty Dozen/Dirty Dozen Alumni members. I love playing in these challenges. I decided to combine my RBC19 challenge to create a scene with Laurie’s challenge to use vellum and Jody’s challenge to use ribbon. I love creating scenes and thought I would put a different spin on my scene for this project. I used versa to stamp all of my images on vellum and then embossed with gold ep. Wow! I loved the effect. I didn’t, however, love the pure white and gold for the scene. Hmmmm…..I wonder if you can distress vellum? I thought I would try. The edges of vellum paper is very brittle and does not tear up like regular cardstock. It sort of breaks off and creates jagged lines. I used a distressing tool as well as my deckle scissors to distress as much as I could and then sponged on Old Paper and Vintage Photo distress ink to give the paper an aged look. I distressed the edges of a piece of white cardstock and sponged Old Paper on to create a layer for the vellum leaving the center of the paper white so the scene would show better. I used a spiral punch down the left side of the vellum to create a look of old note paper and attached gold organdy ribbon and heated to age and distress. What a fun project.

I am at a loss for the right words Kittie. This is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow Kittie, this card is soooo cool! I keep forgetting how impressive the metalic embossing powders look. Thanks for the reminder!
That’s a really gorgeous card!! I love it! My fave card style would be the Z-card.
Gorgeous Kittie. Will have to try that when my sets get here. Dave shipped them same day as my order and snail mail is living up to it’s name; and I just live down the state from RN. Geez. *rolls eyes*
That card is beautiful. I like cards that are simple yet elegant with not a lot going on. It drains the main image.
Wow! I was thinking about trying to emboss vellum…now I know that you can!!
Favorite card style….clean and simple (or snarky!! LOL!)
Hi Kittie…. what an amazing card…. I’ve never tried stamping and embossing on vellum My favourite card style at the moment is emobossed cuttlebug background with a funky image on top, which has been coloured in…. not sure what style that is but I like it……
Julie
Wow – What a stunning card! I don’t know if I would ever think to do that! My style tends to lean more towards whimsical, but I might just have to venture a little bit outside my comfort zone!
What an awesome card Kittie!!!
I love other people’s collage/distressed cards…but for my own, I would have to say cute. The cute ones are the ones that turn out the best for me. Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Wow, Kittie! That’s beautiful!

What a beautiful card Kittie! Distressed velum…what a GRAND IDEA! Love the outcome!
I’d have to say that my favorite card style would be colored images. (I love to color, so I’m always impressed by other people’s coloring talent *wink*).
BTW, I’m having a BLAST with my new Kittie Kit!
I love anything vintage with lots of embellishments! Your card was beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win Rubbernecker Bucks. I love those stamps!
I like accordian style cards with scenic stamping. The way you used embossing and distressing with the vellum is beautiful.
Geez! Your card is fabulous!
My favorite card style is the Clean and Simple.
What a gorgeous card Kitty! It is so elegant with all the distressing & embossing. My card style is definatly cutesie, yet I like to attempt elegant cards every once in a while as well.
Kittie, you card is absolutely stunning!! I love all of the gold embossing and the distressing.
I like anything with cutouts or punched edges, but now you have made me a fan of gold embossed.
