Card Making With Vellum
I love paper…..and handmade cards are at the top of my list.
I have come to realize that I will probably never in my lifetime have the time to make my own cards…
So the best I can do is drool over them and, of course, make a purchase every now and again!
These are utterly fantastic!
Stamp your flower in a random pattern onto vellum with VersaMark Ink. If you are stamping in a well-lit area you will be able to see where you are stamping since VersaMark is clear. Use a fine white embossing powder to emboss your images. (When embossing on the vellum, move your heat tool more than normal around the area so the paper won’t burn.) Stamp two extra flowers and a butterfly with black ink onto white cardstock.
Now it’s time for coloring! All of these images were colored with Tombow Markers and a blender pen. You will notice that color moves more quickly on vellum because of the smooth surface.
When you are finished, you can flip the embossed vellum that you just colored and adhere it to a card. You might like your image with the embossing on the front or back — two different looks with the same technique. This card shows the different effects;
Supplies: Stamps – Transparent set ” To You” #30-067. Other: Penny Black Mix & Match Papers “Purple Mountain”, Zing (OPAQUE White Embossing Powder), VersaMark, Heat Gun, Tombow Markers, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, vellum, and a white gel pen.
