    Question for you Betsy…if the stamping and embossing on the vellum is so tricky…Why did you not choose to do the stamping first and then the die cutting?

    I cant speak for Betsy, but I tried to stamp and emboss the flower first and then I diecut it, and when i did it that way the embossing cracked and chipped away in areas, since the embossing does go right to the edge, it was under the die.
    Betsy you cards are SO AMAZING, and I LOVE how colorful you create them all.
