Here's my interpretation:
I embossed the card blank and used strips of paper to reproduce the sketch. I also tried working with vellum for the first time - embossing the dandelion seed heads and sentiment in gold. I thought it would be a good way to add a stamped image without completely obscuring the patterned paper underneath. I discovered that embossing happens really fast on vellum, and gets really hot! The embossing powder started bubbling at one point. Also, as I wasn't sure how glue would show up under the vellum, I only glued the outer edge. In future, I would use a different method. The wet glue caused the vellum to ripple and because it isn't stuck down in the middle, I ended up with a sort of pocket effect. But having said that I think it looks quite nice.
I actually love the way your vellum piece turned out... it looks perfect on this card. Very pretty! Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
