I have two creations I want to share with you today! First up, this one:
For this card, I first stamp the flowers onto the card stock with versamark ink and let it dry. Decided I wanted a bit more pop so then stamped and using white embossing powder and outlines those ones with a very light grey copic marker W1). I also took some of the leaves from this kit and stamped them onto vellum and heat embossed those with white too. I like how the edges did for this, that you cant really see the cut edge after cutting out with the die because its vellum. Cut a curve with a Spellbinders border die and added a piece of white doily on the back side to get this look on the bottom left edge. All the other pretty obvious what I did...And now for my 2nd card...super quick distressed one! :D

And since I had my embossing stuff out...I decided to emboss this flower too. Clear embossing used on this one, then took a stamp pad (innocent pink) and stamped over the flower, which I did until I had a look I wanted then took a cloth and buffed off the flower. Distressed the edges on this one and layered and all done!

Beautifully done. Wonderful card
Great cards. I really like the leaves on the first card. Thanks for sharing.
If you ask my friends, pink is usually not my color, but I really like how soft it is in your second card. You may have talked me into trying a new color. :-)
Cat, these are so pretty! I can almost remember 39- hahaha

Lovely cards. I never think of using vellum.
Both are very, very pretty. I love the embossed look.
Both are so lovely. I like the muted coloring too.
The combination of stamp and pop outs is quite striking. I see a variety of techniques used here successfully. Nice work.
I love both cards, but the second on is my favorite. I love the simplicity of it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! I love the double stamping technique. I have never thought to do that. You have inspired me to try something new. I love the look of the stamped leaves on vellum with white embossing powder. I will definitely try this. Thank you so much.
I started to do heat embossing on vellum this morning and had forgotten whether that worked or not. Yours turned out great, so thanks for the inspiration!
OOH, these cards are awesome. Love all the layering and details you added to the first card ( I am going to have to case that one for sure, LOL) You always inspire me with your wonderful creations, Cat.
