This technique is called the Vellum Overlay card. You need to use a good quality of vellum for this as well as embossing powder and line stamps. I found the perfect stamps at Gina K Designs. The two that I used are A Year of Flowers 3 and Wild Blossoms.
Following Jennifer's instructions, I only made one change. I used a larger card stock base under the vellum, as I thought the card would be more easily handled and hold up better for mailing.
After
stamping the cascading flowers on the top folding base card as I wanted
them to be, I colored them with copic markers. I stamped the vines with
Grass Green ink from Gina K Designs. Then inserted the base into the
vellum and stamped exactly over the top with versa-mark and white
embossing power and heat set them.
Here
is what the card looks like with the vellum opened. You still have the
top folding card to write a message inside. Lastly, I added the
crystal drops to look like the April raindrops that bring the May
flowers. This made a very unusual and different card to sent for any
occasion. Watch Jennifer's video, as she explains it better that I.Thanks for stopping by to see how I made this card and I do appreciate comments. I hope that you take some time to enter the challenge this week. Your project does not have to be complicated, but this one is easier that you think. Hope to see you at the Mod Squad Challenge.
Your card is beautiful. I love everything about it, especially the dew drops

I like this so much. Making the liner bigger is genius. Your coloring is awesome, shows up perfectly behind the vellum. LOVE how you used the stamps, and those raindrop rhinestones are the perfect final touch. Fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer's technique was incredible, but I think you have taken that one extra step of making the card stock a tad larger--LOVE that look! Plus it adds more body to the card itself. This is extraordinary!!! Really STUNNING!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Barbara. I like the embossed vellum and gives the flowers a soft look. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. I love the colors too. And, embossing the vellum and then adding them to the card front directly over the colored ones was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is fabulous. What a wonderful technique. I must watch the video. Love the soft blues.
