For my card above, I place my vellum piece in my Misti. Arranged the tulip image, coloured the image with SU! markers and spritzed with just a little water, then stamped onto the vellum. I love how it turned out with the variation of shades even though I only used one purple marker and one green. And the vellum gives a dreamy look to the image. So soft and pretty.
I left the vellum in the Misti to dry thoroughly before mounting it to the back of my white frame. I stamped a simple sentiment using the same green ink, to finish the card.
Here's a close-up ...
Stamps: efflorescence (Penny Black), happy snippets (Penny Black)

Goodness, this one really catches the eye Loll! So beautiful are those flowers, I love them water stamped on the vellum. They indeed look dreamy and oh so beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI love the dreamy effect you achieved stamping these gorgeous tulips, Loll! It seems like using just a little bit of water must have created the variation in the shades of purple, and I think it looks amazing! I am definitely going to try this technique...thanks for your inspiration ~ Barb xx
ReplyDeleteThis one has such a wonderful, ethereal quality to it! I love that effect, Loll. I'd have never even tried this but now I'm inclined to. Haven't seen that stamp before either.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Loll, the markers on the stamp is a great way to use the vellum...seems like I'll be hunting out some stamps to try this one.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a lovely card and effect! Question: did you stamp on the back of the vellum?
ReplyDeleteHi Marilyn. I stamped on the front of the vellum. It worked fine. Loll :)
ReplyDeleteLoll, I'm loving all your velum techinques. Wow such a beautiful effect
ReplyDeleteLovely dreamy effect in my favourite purple/green colour combo for flowers, Loll. You must have spritz it with just the right amount of water to get such depth and detail. Well done! xx
ReplyDeleteYour watercolored tulips on vellum is so pretty and yes, dreamy! TFS tip about leaving in MISTI until completely dry. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteLovely soft look to the tulips with the markers and spritzing. It looks great with the focal image set back inside the frame.
ReplyDeleteI don't use a lot of vellum but this makes me think I should. I love the soft and delicte look to those flowers xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Loll ... the variation in colour is amazing ... there's such a wonderful sense of depth and dimension to these beautiful blooms! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteIf only I could get just the right amount of spritz to make this work, Loll. The variation of color in one stamping is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would never think you could get such a wonderful dark print on vellum Loll - your technique worked wonderfully - coloring with markers and spritzing! I can see a work session in my craft room coming up!! I've not had much luck with vellum!!xx
