Stamping, heat-embossing and reverse-coloring on vellum was so easy on my previous card I decided to try it again! Here’s a slimline vellum thank-you with the new Wildflower Field Cling Stamp. There’s also a little yard sign in the corner of the wildflower garden. Hi, Jean here with a more detailed version of that technique.
Prep white vellum with the embossing powder tool to eliminate specks of powder. Stamp Wildflower Field using a clean, well-linked VersaMark inkpad. Heat-emboss the image with detail white powder. Cool the vellum, then trim it with the 2-3/4″ wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.
Cut light gray cardstock with the same die. Trim both pieces to 6″.
Color the reverse side of the stamped vellum with markers – Lemon Yellow, Coral Pink Fuchsia and Apricot Zebra Mildliners and a “lime green” Sharpie.
Punch a hole at the top of the rectangles and tie them together with gold cord. Curl the ends of the cord with the edge of a bone folder or the flower burnshing tool – follow the curve of the cord for best results.
Cut the coral and white diagonal 6×6 from the Poppystamps Birthday Fun pack with the 1-1/8″ wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.
Cut the Birthday Fun print with the second-smallest Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die and trim it to about 1-3/4″ long. Trim the ends of the Thank You oil Greetings White Tab. Attach it to the background strip. Tape a flat toothpick behind the greeting – then trim the point to create a little yardsign.
Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card ( 3-5/8″ x 8-1/2″) – use foam tape for the sign. Add green Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Cut a slimline-sized piece of of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
