Vellum elements

 

We have a colour challenge at Just Add Ink this week.

JAI_CC_#117

I decided to use these colours with vellum.

I thought these flowers from elements of style might look pretty dry embossed and so I decided to give that technique a try with this week’s colour combo.

I stamped the image onto vellum card with stazon and then dry embossed the flowers from behind with a stylus to make them white and give them dimension.

The butterflies are coloured with a saffron marker and cut out and placed on top with glue dots.  The “for you” is stamped on the vellum and I have simply placed a white circle behind it to make it stand out more.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : elements of style. kindness matters,

Card : vellum card, white, saffron, brights dsp stack

Ink : stazon

Other : daffodil taffeta ribbon, circle punch, saffron marker, white brads, stylus

This is a close up to try to show the dimension the flowers have, it’s a bit hard to capture it but it does look pretty.

The rest of the design team have come up with some gorgeous yellow and white cards so please take a look and give this challenge a try yourself.
