Thinking of You Card by Amanda Wilcox

Thinking of You!

Have you ever colored on vellum? Today Amanda has created a beautiful floral card using vellum that is perfect for sending thoughtful wishes. 

She started our be stamping the large circle image filled with flowers using our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set onto a piece of vellum. She used Versamark ink and embossed the image in white. To emboss on vellum, just make sure you have a thick weight vellum paper. She cut the image out using the Circle Frames Die Set to give it the fun scalloped edge. Then she colroed the florals using copic markers. A tip from Amanda for coloring vellum is to choose a much darker, deeper color than you're looking for because the vellum lightens it considerably.

Isn't it gorgeous? Here is a close-up:

For her card, she started with a white card base and inked green leaves onto it using our Trailing Leaves Stencil. The leaves coordinate perfectly with the florals for a fun nature theme. Next, she used our A2 Card Layout Die Set with kraft colored cardstock to cut out the fun panels. She added some ink to the edges to give them a bit of dimension. Then she layered the vellum image on top. The finishing touch is the sentiment from our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, which she embossed in white onto a banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. The bright pink paper she used for the banner really makes it pop off the card! 

We love how this turned out and we hope that you are inspired to stamp and color images onto vellum!
