Having Fun With Vellum
05/08/2019
I love doing my Facebook lives and am always looking for different ideas for projects to create during them. The other day I saw a post on Facebook that was talking about different techniques using vellum. I haven't really used vellum that much lately, so this would be perfect for my Facebook Live. The first project I demonstrated was how to do the Stained Glass technique.
This technique really does look like stained glass as you can see in the above picture. The trick to making this card is, making sure when you do the embossing on the front with the Black Embossing Powder that you make sure it is totally set before working with it. I have a tip in the video further down in this post on how to do this.
I stamped the images using the stamp set Falling Flowers, which is retiring at the end of the month. The Stampin' Blends markers are perfect for coloring with this technique. I colors I used were Bermuda Bay - dark, Daffodil Delight - dark, Flirty Flamingo - dark, Highland Heather - dark, Night of Navy - light Old Olive - dark. You could use so many different color combinations on this card.
To make this card you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock
Highland Heather
- cut at 5 1/5" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Doesn't it look like stained glass? I love this technique!
This is the second card I made using vellum. I have no idea what this technique is called. I have searched and searched looking for the name and I can't find it. The most common name was Easy Embossed Vellum.
To make this card you will need a stylus or something similar to it. Stampin' Up! doesn't sell just the stylus anymore, but if you have the Stampin' Up! Score Tool there is a stylus included with it.
I used the Lovely Floral embossing folder for my image on the vellum and Lemon Zest stamp set for the sentiment. Both of these products are on the retirement list. So, if you want them, don't wait, everything is while supplies last.
