When I first started stamping back in about 2002, there was a dollar store fairly close to me (close enough for it to be worthwhile to drive there!) that had lots of card-making supplies. I used to buy 8 1/2 x 11 inch booklets of paper from Fiskars for $1.00. Some of these booklets had vellum with printed paper that coordinated with it. At some point, I separated them. Not sure if I still have the patterned paper or not! At any rate, I used up some of the vellum on these cards.
For this first one, i first glued a piece of purple cardstock on the cardfront and then added the vellum over that. I decided to use one of the Taylored Expressions flowers that I just love, and also a pre-stamped and die-cut sentiment from Gina K.
These two cards were made from one sheet of the vellum. I added some tannish paper underneath it. I stamped the sentiment and then used clear embossing powder on it.
These four cards were made from a single sheet of the vellum. Since the leaves and their placement is different on each one, I thought I'd share them all. The sentiment is from Gina K. I didn't emboss these - I just let them dry.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I have piles of vellum and try to use it every once in a while. You did a wonderful job of using vellum on these cards. The leaf vellum is especially eye-catching.
Gee, I have some ancient vellum, too. I must be hoarding it or something. Yours is certainly pretty and gives your cards such a soft look, as vellum always does. I like how you covered the whole card, but added a panel of contrasting color underneath on the first three cards. Clever!
