Cobblestone Cottage

The optional twist for Twisted Thursday is to use an image from our sponsor,  Leigh SB Designs.

I printed this magical image, Cobblestone Cottage, on parchment paper and colored with Prismacolor pencils from behind and blended with Dorso Oil. the front of the white card was cut out using an oval die, then stamped, and embossed with a stamp from Simon Says Stamp with Distress Oxides over the top. I put some blue paper behind the scene and glued it behind the opening. A second mushroom was colored, fussy cut, and adhered to the front of the opening overlapping the original mushroom. Finally, the sentiment was added from Tim Holtz Small Talk.

Vellum for Flowers

I went with friends to the Scrapbooking Expo in Mesa yesterday and took a class with Heartfelt Creations in creating flowers with vellum. Since vellum is my best friend lately, with the Groovi plates and Pergamano parchment crafting, I thought these kinds of flowers would make nice embellishments. I wasn't wrong, and I'm so glad I took the class.

I enjoyed making these flowers so much. They were stamped on heavy vellum, die cut with matching dies, then heat embossed with white embossing powder (be careful, vellum can warp if you stay in one spot too long). A bit of color was added with inks and a blending sponge. The flowers were formed using a tool, or you can use the mold if you have one. The leaves were formed using a mold, but you can shape them yourself. There are a lot of good videos showing all the techniques for this style.

Isn't that butterfly amazing? I purchased the stamp and die cut, so I know you will see this again! Gasp! A bit expensive, but I got the stamp set for free from taking the class.

This is such a lovely technique with paper, and even more lovely using vellum. Hope you'll give it a try!


Edited to add that this was a featured card at The Outlawz!

Embossed Vellum with Flowers

Embossed is the optional twist over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz Our sponsor this month is MHK Designs. I used the set Pretty Petunias Digital Set. A Darice embossing folder was used on vellum and then gone over lightly with Picked Raspberry Distress Inks leaving the center white. The image was colored with Copics, cut with my Scan n Cut, and popped up over the vellum. some Nuvo Crystal Clear drops were added as dewdrops and tiny white pearls were colored a matching pink with the Copics.

Thinking of You in Water Color

I am in the middle of taking a fantastic class from Online Classes called Clear and Sheer. I have learned so much already. Here is a card that I water colored on Tim Holtz, Ranger Distress Water Color Paper using Distress Inks. The stamp is from Dina Wakley, Scribbly Flowers, and was embossed on to the paper with white embossing powder.

I cut the vellum with Gina Marie Designs Pendant dies, embossed the sentiment from Stampabilities and attached with tape to the card. Then, I ran ribbon through my Xyron and went over where the tape showed. Finally, I added some Crystal sequins from Darice, attached with Glossy Accents.

Dance in the Rain

The twist for Twisted Thursday at The Outlawz this week is "music". I have just gotten some vellum and really needed to play, so I used a silhouette, A Touch of Class, from Simon Says Stamps and printed it on the vellum. I added it to music paper from DCWV Tattered Time mat stack on black cardstock taped to a kraft paper card.The quote was put through my Xyron to attach to black.
