Stamping &Colouring on Vellum

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today we begin a new challenge at
We hope you are learning a few new card making designs.
Our challenge for the next two weeks is
Stamping and colouring onto Vellum.
Please check out the blog and the inspirational cards
by the design team. 
I used a Honey Doo Crafts stamp - Floral Crest.
I used Versafine black ink on the front of the vellum, embossed
with clear embossing powder. I wish I had used Versamark and
white embossing powder for a more detailed and cleaner looking result,
 but hey that is for another day.
Flipped it over to the backside and used Promarkers to colour it.
Hope you have a go and enjoy the creation of your card.
