Another week has passed and we hope that you have been inspired and you will use your vellum a bit more now... or give it a go if you have not tried to use it yet.
Today, Gay has made a couple of beautiful samples for you: candle holders (love those!!) and a lovely card.
Can't wait to read your thoughts about Gay's samples and about the vellum week in general.
I embossed the vellum and swiped over with Brilliance Moonlight White, when it was dry I stamped with Tim Holtz text stamp.
The perfect adhesive to attach them is the Quicky Glue pen. I used my water spritzer to form the cylinder and adhered the vellum to itself with super sticky tape.
The embellishment is a Spell binders die cut out in Vellum and rubbed with Brilliance Cosmic Copper.
The whole cylinder will be adhered to the candle lamp with a glue dot.
My battery operated candle lamps are a little run down I think I need some new ones!
I used
Dreamweaver stencil, Damask
Brilliance inks in Cosmic Copper and Moonlight White
Spellbinders dies, Ironwork motifs
Tim Holtz Stamps French Marketplace

I die cut the flowers and the flourish and the petal shapes cut from the flowers I layered back onto the flowers to give them a little interest, black centres and a sentiment to finish.
The glue pen just doesn't show through.
I used
Spellbinders Morocan Motifs and Nestabilities, Classic Circles Small.
Tim Holtz, Elegant flourishes
Sentiment by Crafty Secrets, Sweet Kids

The candle holders are a lovely idea & so seasonal now that the nights are drawing in. I love the simplicity of the embellishment on it that allows the light to shine through.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the candle screens..gorgeous! AND I never knew you could get battery candles! This would be ideal with a young child around! Your card is simply gorgeous too...so retro and pretty! Bravo and TFS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project. Those vellum candles are fantastic and I love the flowers, so novel. Thanks for the glue tip. Vellum is so tricky to stick without it showing.
ReplyDeleteCandle covers are such a lovely idea but I'd need some battery ones first! Great use for vellum.
