Mother's Day Card: Stamping on Vellum

Hello, crafters! I am sure you're all gearing up for Mother's Day this weekend. I have been so busy that I completely flaked on my cardmaking this year. So, I decided that I would make the same card for my mother and mother-in-law just to get it done quicker. I combined this task with two challenges: my uplines' color challenge (gypsy, crystal blue, and sorbet), and this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge: Mum's the Word. Find more info about Heart 2 Heart Challenges here.


So, for this card I tried something new for me: stamping on vellum. I used white embossing powder to really make it pop.



Underneath the vellum, I created my own B&T using flowers from the Shower Flowers stamp set.


I created both cards in about 45 mins. Not bad for a last minute attempt.

Ingredients: White Daisy Cardstock, Sorbet Cardstock, Sorbet Ink Pad, Crystal Blue Ink Pad, Gypsy Ink Pad, Glacier Extra Thick Twine, Shower Flowers, Holiday Tags, Versa Mark Ink Pad, White Embossing Powder

Happy Scrapping, My Artsy Friends!

    Kinda looks like bokeh. Pretty. Thanks for sharing with us at Heart 2 Heart.

      Thanks. I haven't had a chance to try bokeh yet, but I've seen some really great artwork using it!

      Thanks so much! I've been waiting to try stamping on vellum for awhile. There is a "glass window" technique I want to try. I bought the vellum for a great price on Amazon.

    Very pretty, I love the velum. I have not used vellum in a long time! Thanks for playing along with Heart 2 Heart Challenges (H2H)!

      Thanks so much. I like vellum a lot, but haven't used it in awhile either. It's really versatile, though.
