Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up April 2022 Blog Hop - Vellum

 

Hi!  Welcome to our April blog hop!  This one is going to be great because our design team member, Sharnie Haines chose vellum for our theme. 

I've always loved adding vellum to my pages. It has one major flaw, which happens to be its best quality. It is practically transparent. That makes it a wonderful addition to any page. Problem is, since it's transparent you can see the adhesive that you use to put it on your page. One way to prevent this is to apply your adhesive to the entire back of your vellum pieces. Thats what I tried to do with my vellum title on this layout. Apparently I didn't smooth it out carefully enough so you can see some of the Mono Adhesive where I sponged it on. Sometimes I get in a hurry to see what my layout is going to look like when I finish it out. Obviously, when adding a vellum title it is best to take your time. I was down to my last sheet so I didn't have enough to redo the title. 😒  

However, as I look very critically at my title here, it kind of looks like marble. So instead of saying I didn't do it right I'll say I created a new vellum technique - marbled vellum!

This layout is a combination of past, present and future products. The die cut letters are from several years ago. The Designer Series Paper that I cut the zig zag borders are from the You're A Peach paper. And the embossed flowers were stamped with the new Uniquely Artistic stamp set I got when I signed up for Stampin' Up's On Tour online event for demonstrators. It will be available when the new 2022/23 catalog starts on May 3rd.
