More Vellum

Here is another card in my 'vellum series'. This was a technique I stumbled upon called Vitalized Vellum. You apply ink to your vellum in whatever manner you like (sponge, direct from pad) making sure the whole sheet is covered. Then you use a stamp to remove some ink in whatever pattern you desire. If you are re stamping the same stamp you must clean it between applications. I tried this with Night of Navy and Kiwi Kiss, but I did not love how those strong colors looked. So I went with the Soft Subtles. Much better.
Card stock; Pale Plum, Whisper White, vellum
Ink; Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Bashful Blue
Stamps; Snow Burst, Punches Three
Accessories; Bashful Blue grosgrain, scallop square punch, sewing machine, dimensionals.
