So, I used this AWESOME map vellum from Chic Tags today. First time to ever use it as a background. I got the idea from this LO on SB.com: On the Go and fell in love. I didn't want it to look exactly like it, of course, so I changed it up a bit. I LOVE how it turned out!  TFL!  Any vellum background LO's you all have done that you would like to share? I'd LOVE to see them!  |

That is an awesome idea and layout. Is the vellum attached to a solid piece of cardstock for support? I wonder, my vellum would not hold up in a page protector. Yours looks great!

Great idea, I have so many 12x12 vellum sheets from back in the day that I really should use them like this.

I will probably attach a white sheet behind it, only attaching it behind the papers on the right side. I may stick it in the protector by itself first to see how it does, but I'm sure the patterns behind it will probably show through, so I would at least put a white sheet in between just as a buffer. |

What a fabulous page! Got back into vellum when I saw (and ordered!) Webster's Pages printed vellum - they are amazing in design, color and quality <3 I used their bicycle design to create a textured background and edge the torn pieces with gold metallic chalk ink. I have step outs on my {FRIEND!} post on my blog... ![]()  |

Awesome page! I love vellum, it adds such a soft and dream-like quality to a layout.

I love using vellum to layer. I have only used a full sheet when over a piece of patterned paper to tone it down but this seems like a great idea. I will have to try it.

I used that wonderful WRMK polka dot vellum for this page. I was a little worried since it was vellum, but I was able to hide all the adhesives.  |

Great job ladies!
I normally use it in small sections for layers but I may try using a 12x12.

Great pages! I have never used it a background paper...usually just for journaling.
I re-size in Photobucket before posting.

I love vellum. I use it as often as it fits the layout.

Love the layouts! I need to get out my vellum now that I've seen some inspiring layouts from everyone. Thanks

Hey Kisha ,
I saw your LO on FB and it's gorgeous! Where is that vellum from? I've used vellum in layers on top of card stock or patterned paper but never as just a background. I love that piece of gold polka-dot vellum from Dear Lizzy( no, I don't know what collection) and I've used it a couple of times.
ETA- yes, I'm a bit dense. Just retread your post and saw it was from Chic Tags. Oh well...menopausal brain strikes again!
