Delicate Lace Vellum Flowers Card Video

Hello, Crafters.

When I shared this card last Saturday, I was overwhelmed with

all the positive feedback I received – I was really humbled! I was

asked if I’d make a video showing how I made the card, and

I’m only too pleased to share.

I chose Poppy Parade as my colour, but I don’t have any Poppy

Parade Stampin’ Blends so I used Dark Cherry Cobbler. It

isn’t great but I think it works OK! When I shared my last

video – No.386 – Dry-embossing on Vellum, I showed a couple

of pieces of the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum which I said I’d

use in future projects

One of the pieces was the dry embossed irises , which

are the same design as the painted ones I used in

Saturday’s card. I decided to use the image in the same

style of card to see what it looked like both ways.

I found it very fiddly trying to mount the dry embossed image

for two reasons. Firstly, the dry embossing

had caused so much dimension, and secondly when the

four bookmarks are cut into four strips, I was left with two very

slim sides that need to be used to glue them down.

The real problem is having to be careful where the adhesive goes

i.e. enough to adhere it down securely, but without being visible!

So my conclusion on this design is to stay with the painted image,

because it’s mounted onto a strip of Whisper White Cardstock (CS),

and then adhered to the card with Tombow.

You may remember, when I was telling you about the delicate lace

that I’d adhered inside of my first card? I said I’d adhered it

horizontally first of all, but very quickly whipped it off

because my card was vertical card.

It was only a little while later that I realised I could have left it vertical

as the lace on the front was vertical! DOH. Never mind, I

decided to stay with horizontal.

When I was photographing my card after I’d finished the video, I

decided to add a small strip of red across the lace on the inside

of the card. I think it added a nice finishing touch!

Today, Hubby and I are out shopping for some last minute bits

and pieces for Alaska! ☺☺☺

That’s it from me today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
