While looking through alll my envelopes the other day, I was SO thrilled to find a pkg. of oversized vellum ones!! I'd forgotten how LOVELY vellum is, and howww much I used it in LOTS of layouts & cards through the years! As you can see, this card was extra special, for a grieving friend  I LOVE how the sweet bulldog shows through !!!!   b  g |

Great card. I love vellum too - particularly on cards or layouts with brights colours when you want to tone them down a bit.

I like using vellum for die cuts...vellum clouds on a nice sky blue paper or vellum thought bubbles near someone's head...that sort of thing. I love the way it looks.

Lovely card.
Vellum is one of those things that I like the look of, but haven't done much with. I really should try again.

I wish I knew about it a few months ago before I got rid of two packages of it. I just couldn't figure out what to do with it, and I felt bad every time I saw it sitting there, so I finally donated it. |

I haven't scrapped for a long time and am just starting to get back into it. Your post has reminded me of all the beautiful vellum I have, plain, embossed and patterned. I'm going to get it all out and KEEP it out so I won't forget to use it.
I think the last time I used it I cut letters out using my Cricut and then ran them through my Cuttlebug with embossing plates!

I love vellum, but mine is usually hiding in a drawer, so doesn't get used nearly enough.
Just used some the other day running it through Jac's Minc. I really like the results. When we were doing that, I remembered that with an ink jet printer and some embossing powder, you can get some cool looks too.
Love the frosty look your vellum gives the card!

I am reminded of the "Designing With" series of books during the heydays of scrapbooking -- and specifically "Designing With Vellum". Lots of beautiful ideas for using vellum!

I use it a lot for journaling and on cards, too. And it is great for subduing busy pp. Love your card.

Loydene......Yes!!! I bought that book back in the day! I also scraplifted a Gorrrrrgeous Heidi Swapp layout (manyyy years ago!) which has vellum and some gorrrrgeous faux-satin fabric ....I will find it and post it p.s....How FUN to use the term "scraplift" again! It's been a longggg time since I said that !!! I miss those days when scrapbooking was almost a DAILY thing, and my friends & I scrapbooked EVERY Friday night! But I was / am still happy to be by myself I also miss the old days when peeps would post their thoughts on the layouts in the new mags!!!! So much fun! And I spent LOTS of time on the scrapbook side of 2peas....then it was also FUN to discover NSBR
