Hello and welcome to the Unity blog. It’s Gaylynn. Here is another Spring card idea. This project shows a vellum spotlight card technique. The focal point is a set of tulip flowers on vellum against patterned paper. The way to make the tulips pop is outlined below. It is easier than it seems. The supplies are noted below.
Also, adding marker coloring to the back of the vellum helps to soften the look. This card was made for support or sympathy occasions.
Helpful Tips:
-
Prepare an A2-sized card base from white cardstock, 4 1/4″ x 5.5″ folded.
-
Die-cut or trim a rectangle background frame panel approximately 4” x 5 1/4” from alcohol or watercolor patterned paper.
-
Using permanent ink, stamp the sentiment and the butterflies over the patterned paper, near the top.
-
Color the butterflies.
-
Stamp the tulips onto each of the vellum panels.
-
Trim one set of stamped vellum tulips by fussy cutting around the stamping.
-
On the other tulips, color the back of the three tulips only. I used Copic markers.
-
Fussy cut (cut out) the three colored tulips.
-
Hand trim white cardstock in the shape of three tulips.
-
Using a small amount of glue, adhere the colored tulips (uncolored side facing the front) to the corresponding white fussy-cut tulips. Repeat for all three tulips.
-
Adhere each layered tulip to the vellum stamp tulips.
-
Finally, layer the background over the card base then add the finished tulips over the card front.
