I haven't done much work with Vellum but seeing the challenge of using specialty papers from Latenight Stampers gave me the opportunity to pull out the Vellum and create something.
I used the Love and Sympathy set. Stamped the Iris in white on the back of the vellum and the sentiment in black on the front. Next time I might try the image in Versamark and use white embossing power on it. I used a heat gun on the inks to be sure they were thoroughly dry before flipping the vellum over. I tacked the vellum to a scrap of brown with brads. I have not found a truly clear glue that will not show thru vellum. Anybody know of one? Then a shear ribbon and bow. And taped down to Certainly Celery card base.
I like to decorate the inside also. I think it just gives a little special touch. So I did a message on the computer and then stamped the same iris in certainly celery after stamping off once to soften the color a little.

This is a lovely card, Donna, with a heartfelt sentiment. I need to try your idea of stamping on both sides of the vellum.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love the idea of stamping on the front and back will have to give it a try. Thanks for joining us this week LNS!
