Let’s get started!
STEP 1: Heat Emboss your Stamped Image
I started by stamping and heat embossing my flowers from the . When heat embossing you need a sticky ink so that your embossing powder will stick to it. The best ink for this is .Before stamping use your powder tool or powder bag over the area to keep the embossing powder from sticking to areas you don’t want it.
You want to heat up your heat gun for a few moments before taking to the vellum. Move your heat gun around and don’t stay in the same spot for too long. If you have heated your gun long enough it will only take a few seconds for the embossing powder to melt.
STEP 2: Color the back of the vellum piece
Once the vellum is cooled, turn it over and color the other side. You want to color the side that hasn’t been embossed so that you don’t color your embossed lines and it gives the vellum a stained glass look.

Since I was happy with this placement I took a picture with my phone so that I could reference it as I glued all the elements down.
STEP 5: Adhere all your pieces onto the card panel
I carefully applied my onto the vellum pieces. Applying a small dot of glue in the centers of the flowers, on the stamen, and a tiny bit on some of the edges was the perfect amount and seemed to be enough to adhere the flowers. The leaves were tucked in under the flowers and the Sentiment was popped up with foam tape.
STEP 6: Add finishing touches.
For a finishing touch, I added a few .
