Adding Texture to Vellum


 I wanted to try to add some texture to the vellum.  I think my pearl-colored vellum was just not quite heavy enough for this to work the best but I still love the result.  I used Tangerine Tango to stamp a flowered Unity stamp on the vellum.  After it dried thanks to my heat tool, I took a stylus and over craft foam traced the flowers.  It gives it a bit of a textured bump finish on the other side.  When you turn over the vellum the image seems pinker.  So I got out some paper from my Spellbinders April Kit of the Month and a sentiment to pull this card together.



I am adding this card to two challenges:


Creative Fingers Challenge #215:  Anything Goes  (you can find this challenge here) &

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge #412 (you can find this challenge here)

Hi Samantha

That's a lovely layout for a card. It's very pretty.

Hope you can find your way up the rope ladder to the Playground Treehouse for some fun!

Hugs, Sarn xxx

Hi Samantha! The Snippets Playground is based on a kids playground as we're all kids at heart. We have swings, roundabouts, a duck pond. tree house etc. Just close your eyes and you'll be able to 'see' them. Sarn is the chief mischief maker and usually holds fun parties in the tree house! I think this is your first time in the Snippets Playground - you must think we're all a bit crazy - which we are!

I love your card and have just rediscovered the joys of using vellum. So very pretty!

It isn't too late to say yes to be in the prize draw in a comment over on the challenge post BTW.

Hugs
