Welcome back to
my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.
Today I used colored pencils on vellum. You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here.
I used VersaFine Black Onyx ink and allowed it
to dry thoroughly before moving to the next step.I used my Caran
d’Ache Luminance colored pencils to color on the back side of the stamped
image. Coloring on the back of the
stamped image creates a soft look but the color still shows through the
lightweight vellum. I
returned the stamped image to my stamp positioner in the same position, stamped
with VersaMark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. To prevent warping (or even melting) your vellum when
embossing, be sure to let your heat gun warm up for about 30 seconds
and then keep it moving back and forth across the image until all the embossing
powder has melted.
I cut two
pieces of lightweight (65#) card stock to measure 4 1/8’ x 5 ¼” then adhered
them together. I cut another piece of
medium weight (80#) to the same measurement.
I stacked the three pieces together and cut a circle using a decorative
circle die. If the die doesn’t cut
through all three layers, remove the top layer of cardstock and the next layer
will have the imprint of the die cut.
Use this imprint to reposition the die and cut again. I stamped the “Happy
birthday” on the piece of 80# cardstock.
I adhered the vellum image to the back of the die cut image and
cut away the excess vellum. Next, I
adhered the 65# pieces to the back – this will create some dimension for the
final card and elevates the vellum a bit from the blue backing I added in the
next step. For the final
backing I used a piece of watercolor from my stash of background papers. I had used various Nuance shades of blue and
I thought this would help the stamped image stand out a bit more. After I adhered the blue background to the
back of the image, I adhered everything to the front of a white A2 card. Thanks for visiting my blog today.
