So because I haven't blogged in awhile....here's a bunch of cards I've made with vellum!
Vellum is somewhat intimidating for some people because you can spot creases and wrinkles easily, and it doesn't absorb ink like cardstock. Not only do you have to wait for the ink to dry, you also have to fold it just right.
AND because vellum is opaque, there's the question of hiding the glue spots or sticky dots, or whatever adhesive you are using.
Here are my attempts with using vellum.....
The card to the top right uses photo corners to hold the inside page. (Sorry I have no photo of it!)
The card below includes a bookmark inside. I used glue dots for this card. Notice how the book mark is on the left hand side, opposite the front cover. That hides the glue dots from showing.
The card below uses vellum on the card front. I used glue on the rubber stamp, and sprinkled glitter all over the vellum, but you have to remember to clean the stamp right away. I washed the stamp under the tap and cleaned it again with non-alcoholic baby wipe.
Notice I didn't use ANY ink on this card. I used one of the Stampin' Up! Rub-ons for "friend" and the versamark pad for the water-colour effect. No glue was used either. Instead, I used coloured staples.
I decided to make this one as more of a challenge...I wanted to see if I could make a card without using any ink and I came up with this idea!
I have no idea what long-term-use of glue on my stamps will do though..... I've only done this once.
So far......
