Belle Papier {pretty paper}

Vellum cardstock is one of those beautiful, timeless products that always adds an elegant touch to your project. There are so many fabulous techniques that work with vellum cardstock but among my favorites is are the very simple ones. Creating a card base from vellum and simply stamping the vellum cardstock with white ink gives a simple and elegant touch. Today’s CHF Challenge Chicks challenge is to use vellum cardstock in a project. You can check out all the great ideas from some of our other designers….

Firefly Dream

For this design, I stamped my Prism Vellum Cardstock with the firefly stamp from the Garden Friends set by Asela Hopkins. Garden Friends is the current CHF Product Spotlight and is on sale for the next two weeks. The leaves stamped under the sentiment are also from this set and were stamped in Citrus Adirondack Ink. Sentiment is from one of my favorite sets…Motivational Centers. You can see in the lower photo, that I added some matted layers inside using the new Kim Hughes MochaChicha Paper Pack to allow for writing a sentiment inside. Making them larger than my front layer lets them peek through the vellum and add to the front design.

Quick Tip: Get many shades of the same ink by simply stamping off the first impression onto some scrap cardstock before stamping on your project.

Quick Tip: Brilliance ink by Tsukineko is specially formulated for stamping on vellum. It produces a beautiful clean image and dried without smearing, heat setting or embossing.

Also, I have another free on-line class to tell you about. Julie Campbell is hosting a fabulous class on creating Holiday Gift Soaps. Such a cool idea! Click on the banner for more information.
