For today's card I am showing you a technique that I wanted to try out.  Plus, I used Crystal Effects, which I LOVE to use!  It adds a perfect element to the card, and it really makes an image pop!!



Do you want to know how I did the circles in the vellum?  I punched out a bunch of circles from some chipboard that I have, using the 1 3/8" circle punch from SU!, and layed them on my Multi purpose platform.  I doubled up the circles so each place had TWO circles (to make the indent more pronounced), then layed the Vellum over top of the circles.  Once they were together, I put on the Silicone Rubber and the Impressions pad.  I layed one of the clear plates on top of this and sent it through the Big Shot.  This left these circles.  Then I took a sponge Dauber and on the opposite side (where the circles were indented), I sponged on some Peach Parfait.  When you turn the vellum over the Peach Parfait comes shining through!

I stamped the Awash with Flowers image using Peach Parfait and then rolled just the edges on the Cajun Craze ink pad.  This is called "Rock 'n' Roll".  Once I was done stamping, I put some Crystal Effects on top of it, so it puddled over the image.  Let this dry and then put image on cardstock!  Very pretty, don't you think?
