Stamp and Color on Velum with Lost Coast Designs



Hello Everyone!
Been super busy getting all my gift shopping finished.  Everything has to be wrapped......  Haven't started baking yet either.  I think I will get a start on the baking tomorrow.   Lots of cookies!  YUM.  I still have a few Christmas cards to post.  Today's card was made by stamping on velum and coloring on the reverse side.  I used Lost Coast Design Stamps.

Materials List:
Stamps: Mary and Angels, and Party Words both from Lost Coast Designs
Ink: black, red
CS:Real Red, Handsome Hunter from Stampin' Up; White
Velum
Vellum Writer Marker from Zig
Ribbon


Instructions:

  • Make card from Real Red CS and layer with Handsome Hunter
  • Stamp Mary and Angels with black ink on velum
  • Make sure ink is dry and turn over
  • Color on the back with a red Vellum Writer maker
  • Layer velum on white CS and add to card


  • Stamp another  Mary and cut out
  • Add the Mary to the card with dimensional adhesive
  • Stamp sentiment with red ink and add to card

This is a fun technique to add some pizzazz to the velum!  Purple marker would have been cool too.

  2. The card reminds me of a stained glass window. Very creative and beautifully done. Reverse coloring can be tricky. I used to do storefront windows for Halloween. Nicely done. - Jim
