Happy Wednesday friends!
I have another Mother's Day card for you and I decided to create it using the challenge happening over at SU Only Challenges #121. The challenge is to make Mother's Day card or gift - perfect timing wouldn't you say?
I wanted to try something different and I wanted to dive into my unopened pack of Vellum Cardstock. So I googled around to find some great techniques using vellum and I stumbled across this old site called Stamping 411 - can see their Vellum page here! They made 3 lovely cards using some different techniques with vellum. I loved their card so much that I used their colour cue too!
I decided to do a 'lazy stained glass technique' - I don't really know if there is such a thing, so maybe I just created it! lol
Instead of heat embossing, I decided to use my Staz On Inkpad to on one side of the vellum and then colour with my Stampin' Write Markers on the other. I really liked the way it turned out, AND I didn't have to colour it perfectly either - another reason this could be called the 'lazy stained glass technique'.
The stampsets I used for this card are the new Petal Potpourri Stampset, the Petite Petals Stampset and the Retired Delightful Dozen Stampset.
The colours I used are Rose Red, Pear Pizzaz and Whisper White.
Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Stampin'
