Welcome once again - I am so glad to see you visit.

The other day I had time to 'play' and I had been inspired by a technique that Angela from Card Creations NZ had been trying - she found it at Hero Arts and it is called Velveteen Stamping.
I started out following the tutorial, but decided that the White ink I had used in the background was not white enough, so then I overstamped that with script using Platinum ink........ which jumps out at you! Not good, but I decided to continue anyway. You can see here it hogs the limelight somewhat.
The flowers are from the discontinued Layers of color Polka Dot Love set. The Ivy is the Silhouette Ivy stamp from Hero Arts.
The Dragonfly stamp is also a discontinued LOC stamp - I deliberately stamped it twice to give an illusion of movement.
A few months ago I won some fun Flock in a blog candy draw on Alicia's blog, and this is the first time I have used it - on the centers of the large flowers.
The sentiment was gold embossed on bright yellow vellum, and mounted with a lift in the middle.

Your card is wonderful, I checked out both of the examples you included and I want to try this technique - I think your version is grand! The dragonfly does have a sense of movement, that's a great effect.
Thank you for participating with us at Opus Gluei and sharing your creation with our theme of Branching Out - you did so with not only the nature theme itself but also that you used a new technique - well done. I hope that we're able to lure you back over to our blog for more creative themes!
Wonderful card Maxine. Looks very effective with this technique. Love the dragonfly too.
I am glad my cards & blog inspired you to try this technique. I found it wasn't as easy as I thought it might be, but it was fun trying something new.

Beautiful card! Love the details. Thanks for joining us at Paper Creations Ink. Hugs, Julia

Hi Maxine! Just saw this card and I think it's beautiful!! Love the stamps you used and layout. This is a cool technique isn't it? I just discovered it recently. If you have some Hero Arts stamps you should enter their contest.
Hope you are feeling better. Take good care. {hugs}
