Coloring the Vellum
Hey there paper crafters! Today’s card features the Painted Glass Bundle as well as the Graceful Glass Vellum from Stampin’ Up. Can you tell that I am having a good time playing with it?
Using various colors of the Stampin’ Blends markers, this sympathy card is colored on the backside of the vellum to make it look more like painted stained glass. It is a much softer look than doing it on the front side. A simple basic black frame cut using the thinlits adds a bit of interest with the sentiment. The butterfly was also stamped in memento ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. If you haven’t ordered these markers yet, you are missing out on how simple they make coloring and blending. The coordination makes it so easy!
The butterfly was colored from the inside out with Daffodil Delight Light, then Daffodil Delight Dark and finally the Pumpkin Pie Light. It blends so naturally.
