CAS Watercolor Card Challenge: Vellum

I rarely use Vellum,  but was inspired to play along with the 
CAS Watercolor Card Challenge:Vellum after seeing all the gorgeous 
vellum cards by the very talented DT and GD.

The challenge ends tomorrow, the 24th at midnight.
I am just under the wire:-) Thank you Jenny for your fun Challenge.


I was inspired by Loll's beautiful Christmas snow card.
Check out her card for her tips and techniques.


Here is my attempt with a vellum CAS Card.

I also used Brushos.  I used Ultra Marine and Purple Brushos on SU Vellum CS 
and spritzed with water. 

I blotted vellum with paper towel then placed large acrylic block to weight down
and help prevent most of the curling.  I was only planning to use part
of the background, so not concerned with the curling.
Let sit overnight with the block to air dry.

Dry Embossed entire background with SU Decorative Dots EB Folder for my snow.

Die cut vellum background with CUTplorations ATC Tag Builder Die
and attached to SU Pacific Point CS using SU fine tip glue pen.
Weighted down with block until dry.  Dried quickly.

 I die cut the CUTplorations Trendy Christmas Trees
Coordinated Dies with the extra vellum background.
Also die cut trees and ATC out of white craft foam and attached to vellum pieces.

Then used MISTI to ink sentiment with a Zig marker. 
I used STAMPlorations Trendy Christmas Trees sentiment
 and stamped on vellum. Curled vellum under background and attached with tape.

Attached main image to SU Whisper White 100# CS. 
Next attached trees to main image.  Used fine tip glue pen and weighted down.

Done and thankful I had Loll's step by step instructions.
Thank you my friend for always inspiring me....Hugs!

  6. Very sweet Brusho sky and trees on vellum, Nancy! The colors are so pretty and the dry embossed & debossed snowfall adds so much fun texture. Layering the vellum piece over the Pacific Point CS is a clever idea. I'm not sure if I can stamp the sentiment with Zig markers on vellum so clearly as you did. Great job!
    Hugs.. Hideko

    1. My MISTI was a big help on the stamping of the sentiment, Hideko. Then I just left it and did not touch again until it had completely dried:-) Thank you my friend for your sweet comment. Hugs..nancy

  10. Cute and whimsical, Nancy! I, too, hardly ever use vellum, mostly because it's tricky to adhere invisibly, but I LOVE the idea of folding the ends around the edges. Must remember that! Another Christmas card done -- yay Nancy!
