Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ....... my take on a technique I saw recently demonstrated by Chrissie Stokes. She actually made a video of how she made hers, I've added it to the bottom of this post and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Of course, the only vellum I could lay my hands on (quickly) had gold print on it but I thought "what the heck, at least it's not going to be a direct copy!!! I like the way it turned out too - shame it was the only piece of vellum with that design on it - must look out some more .....

- Card in white and ? for my card front, insert and matting

- Kaisercraft leaf image (from their "Botanica" set) stamped on the printed vellum panel, using Versamark clear embossing ink, and then sprinkled with funstamps white embossing powder and heat set. On the reverse side of the vellum, the same image was then stamped using Versafine Clair morning mist ink

What a beautiful and interesting technique, love your card! Thanks for joining us at Krafty Chicks.
This is a wonderful idea stamping and embossing using vellum and it looks great Kathy and starting with the script already on the vellum works well and the stitched rectangular aperture to hold the vellum then held in place by the stitched frame is the perfect way to show it off..a beautiful card. x
Beautiful card Kathy and a really interesting technique. Thanks for the link to the video. xx
