Day 16: Embossing a Background

From the time the kids were little, they have always blown the fluffy white dandelions off their stems and made a wish. I took photos of them doing that and tonight I was working on my daughter's scrapbook page. Using VersaMark ink, I stamped several of Penny Black's "lace flower" stamp on white vellum. I poured white embossing powder (Stampin' Up!) on the blooms, shook off the excess, and then poured green embossing powder (Stampin' Up!) on the stems, shook off the excess, and then heated with my heat tool (Stampin' Up!). I really like the effect. It looks like the dandelions are blowing around in the wind, and the vellum adds a softness to the page I like. I still have more to do on this page, but it is late, so I will get back to it tomorrow.
