Karen's Kreations: Sweet Stamps sketch challenge

Sweet Stamps sketch challenge

I took some artistic liberty with this sketch because I couldn't bear to completely cover this gorgeous paper by Prima. The sketch is for Sweet Stamps blog and I used Stacey's pretty stamp embossed in white on rainbow vellum which she does sell also. I colored carefully with copics as they will color or melt the EP, layered it with soft yellow and then the doily die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs and I believe Stacy sells those also. Added some bling from Prima and Michaels. I have tried every vellum glue, tape etc, etc, etc on the market and today I used clear silicone adhesive and smeared it on the back of the vellum, then when I layered it on the circle I turned it over and pressed with my fingers and finally a vellum glue that does NOT show thru. I love it!!! Cheap at Walmart in the glue and paint section, they use it for aquariums.

Lenoria said...: This is such a beautiful card! You did such a great job on the embossing on the vellum and thanks so much for the silicone glue tip. I don't use vellum very often because it is so hard to find something invisible to hold it.; March 2, 2011 at 10:39 PM
