A Little Vellum Goes a Long Way

Hello Stamping Friends,

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing projects using vellum. Just a little bit a vellum can go a long way in changing the entire look of your card. 

I used plain, non-stamped vellum as an overlay on the beautiful autumn designer series paper that I wanted to use for my backdrop. It softens the look of the card and makes it more elegant looking.

See how vibrant this paper is, but how it softens right up with the vellum over it? Also, notice the vellum isn't attached at the top because you can see the adhesive through it. So when you are working with vellum you need to hid the adhesive. I hid it behind the leaves and the strip that goes across the bottom part. 

I used the autumn leaves dies to cut the leaves for my focal point. I also used the blending brushes to add some color and texture to each leaf.  The card is finished off with some speckled gems. They add the perfect touch.

Don't forget to head on over to the Sisters in Stamping to see more vellum ideas.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon for more inspiration.  If you would like to purchase any of the items used on the card, please contact me or visit my website by clicking on my name below.

Creating with Vellum with the Sisters in Stamping

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are sharing cards with you that use vellum. I really love how my card turned out this week and hope you find inspiration from it too.

I used the Art Gallery stamp set and actually started with the Whimsy and Wonder designer paper to begin the planning process. Weird, right? Christmas paper?  I wanted a pink flower and knew this paper would work perfectly for what I wanted. I chose the rest of the colors based off the pack of designer paper because I knew for sure they would work wonderfully together. 

I also used the shimmer In-Color vellum on the left hand side of the card. This vellum adds a lot of punch with minimal effort.  For the large flower, I inked the first layer in the Polished Pink ink and stamped on scrap paper before I stamped on the whisper white paper. Then for the second layer, I just inked it up and stamped directly on the paper. Two colors with one pad, I love the possibilities.

I dressed up the inside of the card by using the stripe look on the left hand side of the front. Decorating the inside of the card makes it a little more put together. Don't forget to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more vellum projects.
