I was experimenting with vellum techniques the other day and came up with the following samples using products that you can find in our new Stampin'Up! Idea Book and Catalog. You can see it by clicking on the link in the sidebar.
Vellum is an easy way to add a classy look to your project, and there are lots of fun ways to use it.
This card uses the new "Snow Much Fun" set and 2 new in-colors, Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party. The background is a piece of vellum cardstock that has been run through the Big Shot with the Petals-a-plenty embossing folder and layered onto Pool Party cs. Sort of gives it a cool, frosted ice look.
This card also uses the "Snow Much Fun" set. The snowman and tree are stamped with Staz-on ink, dry embossed "freestyle" (anything I wanted to pop out) on the back, and colored with markers on the back as well. I then colored the buttons, hat band, nose and Christmas ornaments on the front, then re-colored with a Versamark pen and embossed with clear ep. I didn't have white brads, so I embossed silver brads with white ep.
You can learn techniques like this at my Tons of Techniques classes. Check out my updated class schedule using the sidebar link.
Also, check out all the great new products in the Holiday Mini Catalog!
Happy Stamping!
