Vellum with markers & dry embossing

 I had made these cards a little while ago, it's just taken a bit to get them on here.
The images are stamped onto vellum with Black StazOn and coloured with Stampin' Write Markers, then flipped over to press out a small section with a stylus (dry embossing).

To dry emboss an image; stamp & colour onto vellum, then turn over and use a stylus to press a small section of the image. It's best to have your stamping foam mat or a foam block underneath the vellum.

The heart on the right has been dry embossed, and though you can't tell from the picture the heart is raised and you can feel the shape of it when you run your finger over the top.
