V is for Vellum

Evening All,

And what a cold and miserable one it is too, so I am tucked up in my room making Christmas cards lol.

So while I am doing that, here is a card made a while ago using a piece of inky background and some stamping.

I used Distress Oxides to create the background.............I think. It is so long ago that I couldn't swear to it. That is one of the problems of having so many pictures of my cards to work my way through.

A great way of adding a sentiment to a card is with a wrap around of vellum as I have used here.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment on to a torn strip of vellum. A stamping platform is good for this as you can press gently, but re-stamp if necessary.

Vellum is lovely because it doesn't hide the images behind it, but it is also very hard to attach without the glue showing through, so a good way is to wrap it around the card and attach to the back of the panel, or use brads. I have used both here.

The challenge at The Alphabet Challenge Blog is V is for Vellum, so I would like to enter this.

Off to play with snowmen and snowflakes, and maybe a little more vellum, all bits and pieces from my Christmas Bits Box. I'm on another mission people lol.

Thanks for stopping by.
