Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video


Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

My measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
  • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4" 

Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set.  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too! 

Here's how I finished the inside of the card.
