Card With Vellum Cover |
Vellum seems so elegant to use on a hand-crafted card. I love how what is layered underneath seems extra special. This card is very simple to create, but in person still has a wow factor.

Vellum Adhered On The Fold Side |
This card uses a 12" x 6" piece of cardstock, a 6" piece of vellum and a white cardstock diecut made with the Silhouette Cameo. I spritzed the diecut with a mixture of CTMH Crystal Blue reinker, Create A Shade Pearl Paint and water to give it a bit of a blue tinge. To make it easy to adhere, I ran it through the Xyron and made it into a gigantic sticker. This was then adhered to the card front. The vellum was layered on top with a thin strip of vellum adhesive after stamping.

CTMH Thinking Of You Image From The Childhood Portrait Set |
The image was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white powder. I used a white fiber (retired CTMH) on the fold side and tied it in a bow.
Even though this card is layered, it is not at all bulky. The fiber adds a bit of dimension but would not interfere with any of the automatic postage sorting machines. No additional postage would be necessary if it were a standard size. Of course I didn't think of that until after I made it. :-)
Thank you for stopping by today!
