Vellum week day 4 with Isa'sArt

Hi, 
Pergamano techniques might be something familiar, but maybe some of you have never tried this before. Isa'sArt is using the metal tools to emboss her vellum whether it's with a stamped image or an embossing folder. 
New techniques for you? why not try them out? 


I cut a small piece of Vellum which I will use as embellishment. 
I stamped the heart with Versamagic ink, and I then used a metal tool to highlight part of the hearts. 
Work on either side of your vellum depending if you want an emboss or deboss effect. 
The vellum sold at the Craft Barn is thick enough for this kind of technique, but make sure you don't press too hard to start with.
I then use a pricking tool to make holes for the stitching


This time, I use an embossing folder to emboss the message letters


 The piece of vellum is then torn, inked and sanded


Here's the finished tag

Materials
Embossing folder: Clocks & Print Blocks Set
Crafty Individuals stamps CI-342
Aquamarker Golden brown, sepia
Americana acrylic paints: Milk Chocolate, Antique White, Burnt Sienna
Versamagic ink Jumbo java, Distress ink walnut

Vellum week: day 3 with Jane

Hi, 
Another calendar post today with Jane and this beautiful tag. Die-cut and embossed vellum is perfect for snowflakes. Add to this a lovely inky snowflake background and you have yourself a beautiful winter tag.


I thought vellum was just perfect for some snowflakes and as January now seems to be the month for a few flurries

So, take a large Ranger tag and emboss it with a snowflake mask. Add some Distress Ink


Vellum snowflakes were cut and added to the tag.

Together with the January calendar tab

Add some gems and ribbons to finish

The Crafters Workshop template - Flurries
Distress Ink - Chipped Sapphire
Marianne Design Creatables: Snowflake 1 and Snowflake 2

Vellum week: day 2 with Gio

Hello, 
Gio day today, with another calendar to inspire you. Beautiful subtle colours and some lovely flowers and background made with vellum, our product of the week. 
Let us know what you think... 



I stamped on a piece of vellum using the Katzelkraft unmounted rubber stamps - Art-Nouveau and Jet Black Archival Ink. I cut it and coloured it using several Distress inks with a detailer Zig BrusH2O Waterbrush.




To make the background I cut a piece of vellum to the right size then I embossed it using the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - Daisy Blast and Paisley Palooza Set. I brushed over it three different Dreamweaver metallic F/X: Kiwi, Glacier lake and Pink blush. 
Tip: to fix the metallic powder I sprayed a matte sealer.



I glued the stamped image to the background along with a flower made of scrap of vellum, two Vintaj Charms painted with the Victorian Gable Vintaj Patina kit and the month.
