Colours used in making this card are:

I created the embossed vases card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Vellum – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White -2½” by 2”

Using Versamark ink, I randomly stamped both vases from the garden Gatherings stamp set all over the panel of Vellum. I covered the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using my heat tool. I added dots to some of the vases using the White Gel Pen.

I adhered the label to the panel of Vellum with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive trapping a strip of retired Calypso Coral Ribbon. More liquid adhesive was added to the back of the vellum panel where it would be hidden by the label and glued it to the panel of dsp. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.
