Christmas Vellum

The new challenge at Make My Monday is to use vellum. I knew I had some printed Christmas vellum but it took me a little while to find it, then I had to decide how to use it. All this took longer than making the card!

I finally decide on using just a wrap of the vellum and added some gold diecuts. There's lots more inspiration on the challenge blog so do go and check it out.

In the Groovi!

The new challenge at Cardz for Galz is to use vellum. My first thought was to add a vellum band with a sentiment to the front of my card, then I had a lightbulb moment and decided to look through my Groovi plates which have been very underused!

I really found it quite relaxing even though my craft room feels like a sauna at the moment! After embossing the outline I added colour on the back withSpectrum Noir colour pencils. I glued it onto a white card blank then addded a frame cut out with a Julie Hickey die which hid the edges of the vellum and the glue!

Do check out the rest of the DT makes.

Last Christmas Cards

Here are the last of this year's Christmas cards. All except the first were made with kits from Craft Creations.

The next is a special one. The poinsettia was embossed on vellum and painted with Twinkling H2Os. I also did a second on ein blues and silver but unfortunatelyforgot to take a picture before I posted it !
