Believe Card – Only Vellum

Hello everyone! Vellum is one of the most delicate and versatile papers. Not all inks work as we want on Velum and today I will share with you a complete card that I made using it in combination with the new Dewlets and our Memento Luxe ink.

In my project I am using two different colors of Memento Luxe Ink, Danube Blue and Teal Zeal to create the background and to color each dewelt. Let me share with you the process:

First, take a piece of Vellum card stock and apply the Memento Luxe ink directly with the ink pad. Try to don’t mix the colors of the ink to don’t contaminate it with a mixing of colors. Then with a ink blusher or sponge distribute the ink over the vellum surface and fix the color with the heat tool or leave dry the piece very well.  In my sample I let the paper dry naturally.

Take a different piece of vellum card stock and cut eight petals or pieces from it using the new Dewlets. They are fantastic because you can use them to create different flowers or forms just like I made on my card.

Ink all dewlets with one single color directly with the Memento Luxe ink pad or with the ink blusher or sponge. When the ink is totally dry fold in a half each dewlet as you can see on the above photo.

To finalize the card resize the colored vellum layer with a die cut and stamp your sentiment using the same Memento Luxe Ink or Delicata Ink. This ink works great on vellum and you only need to set the ink with the heat tool. I stamped my message using the Delicata Ink Sapphire Blue and covered with Sparkle Embossing Powder. A tip that works well for me to heat emboss on vellum is head the paper for the back side and keeping a good distance.

To create the base of the card I used whisper white card stock and dry embossed the top of the card  with the Softly Falling embossing folder. Then I arranged all the dewlets and pasted it with glue dots.

You can use any color of Memento Luxe to  create this technique but for my expirience with vellum is good idea to mix clear and dark colors to keep the soft sensation of velum.
