Vellum embossing blue floral card border tutorial.

May 20, 2020 - by Gaylynn

Vellum embossing blue floral card border tutorial.

Hello.  Gaylynn here with my Technique Time series. Today, I am sharing vellum embossing and creating a blue floral card border.

This technique creates a soft look that can be used on its own or over a patterned background.  I used a premade background layer, but patterned paper would work also.

Sentiment:  The world needs more of you.
Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for creating the vellum embossing.  To begin, trim a premade background or use patterned paper.  Next, stamp the flowers with embossing or watermark ink onto quality vellum cardstock.  Also, I like Papertrey Ink vellum cardstock as it holds up to heat embossing.  Next, heat emboss the flowers using embossing powder with color.  I used blue.  Then, cut (fussy cut) around one side of the florals to make a card border.  Next, stamp and trim a sentiment panel.  Finally, adhere all of the layers to finish.
