Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!

In today’s video I would like to show you how to do some easy coloring and layering on vellum paper so that the adhesive doesn’t show!

This card will work nicely with the current Ai “Blossoms and Blooms” Blog Challenge which is to create card or project that includes floral stamps, papers, embellishments, or anything else floral that you might like!  Please join us in this fun challenge … we would love to see what you create!

Let’s begin by stamping the beautiful lily floral arrangement from the Ai Easter Lilies Set (6029) using some embossing ink and some detail white embossing powders. When heating the vellum, I like to get the heat tool nice and hot and then heat the front and back in an alternating fashion. This will help to avoid any warping of the vellum paper.

Once we have stamped and embossed the image, we can color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Haze Blue, Ice Blue, Mid Green, Ever Green, Lt Gray. But rather than coloring on the front side, or the embossed side of the vellum, we will flip it over and color on the backside of the vellum. This will give a beautiful, soft, elegant look to our coloring!

For a little additional detail, let’s grab the Ai Lily Border Set (5374), which has a tiny little stamp that is the center or stamen of the flower. On the back side of the vellum again, we will ink up the stamp using the Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Fossilized Amber and stamp the centers. This little stamp is really fun to use and really finishes off the flowers nicely!

We can create a standard A2 size card base in white and cut another piece of white cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″. This panel will be embossed using the Sizzix “Swirls” Tim Holtz Embossing Folder.

For this embossed panel, let’s add some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink around the edges in Tumbled Glass for a soft, elegant look. Now we can attach the embossed panel to the center of the card.

Let’s cut down the vellum panel to about 3″ x 6″ and also cut some white cardstock to 3″ x 4″. Now we will add some double-side tape to each side of the white panel and now we can easily wrap the vellum paper around to the backside of the white panel. This will hide the adhesive perfectly!

Add another strip of tape onto the left side of this panel and wrap some pretty lime green ribbon from the front to the back and secure it onto the tape. Now for the fun part…we will cut another piece of ribbon and tie this onto the ribbon to create a perfect knot! I’ll show you exactly what I mean in today’s video.

By adding some 3D Foam Tape to the back of this panel we can add some dimension. Let’s center this onto the embossed panel.

For a finishing touch, let’s add a few sparkly gems!

I think this card would be perfect for a sympathy card, Easter card, or a thinking of you card!
