TSG102 Vivacious Vellum

This week's There She Goes Challenge is a great one.... It’s time to pull out that rarely used, but always elegant vellum. There are all sorts of techniques you use that will showcase the vellum stunningly, or you can simply stamp the vellum as use it as a focal panel…your choices are limitless! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!  

Vellum is such a great paper material...and yet I don't reach for it as much as I should!  So today it was fun to add some softness with Vellum.

I used vellum in three different spots on this card.  First I stamped the hydrangeas from the pretty Garden of Friends stamp set onto cardstock vellum using Stazon ink and trimmed those flowers out, and then I sponged them like crazy with Almost Amethyst ink, leaving them to dry.  Once the card was complete I added white gel pen on the flower centers which I think really makes them pop.   And attached them with a little glue dot in the center of the flower.  

Then I cut two borders using cardstock and vellum with the Martha Stewart Hydrangea border punch, and then stamped the sentiment on vellum as well.  Below you can also see I stamped the hydrangea onto the Amethyst cardstock behind the vellum hydrangeas - in white Craft ink.
