Using heat embossing is not a huge challenge for me -- NOT using heat embossing might make it a challenge! So I decided to increase my heat-embossing repertoire by investigating using it on digital images. This butterfly image is from our sponsor this week, Pattie's Creations. I printed it out on vellum and had my embossing powder at the ready to sprinkle as soon as the paper cleared the printer. As you can see, it worked perfectly! (I may have to try this on regular cardstock next -- imagine the possibilities! ☺)

My gosh, that butterfly is beautiful! I love that A. it's so delicate; B. it's on vellum, and C. it's PRINTED! What a cool trick!
Awesome embossing! I've never tried it on vellum. Do you have to use a special type of vellum or just heat it really carefully? The butterfly is perfect with that dreamy paper. :)
