Double Stamped Vellum

Hello friends.  Been having fun this week just playing with NBUS and trying techniques that I've just never gotten around to...like the Double Stamped Vellum technique that Bonnie and Loll have been showing on their blogs recently.  Chrissie Stokes has a wonderful video HERE that shows how fun and easy this technique is!  My first attempt is very simple, but I'm happy with how it turned out.  I will definitely be trying it again and using more color!  For today though, here is take one...

I started by embossing in white on my heavy weight vellum (PTI) an image from The Greetery called Lovely Silhouettes.  Next you simply turn the vellum over and stamp either the same image or a different one (I used 2 more images from the same Lovely Silhouettes stamp set).  I used Jelly Bean Green (Gina K) ink to randomly stamp on the backside of my vellum.

Next I created a frame using PTI's Pierced Feature Frame Dies and adhered my vellum to the backside of the frame.  On my card base I taped off all 4 edges with some skinny washi tape and then used an old SU! background stamp called En Francais and Smokey Slate ink (SU!) to stamp directly onto the card base to add a bit of interest to my background.  

To finish my card I used a sentiment strip from Gina K and also a few Disco Ball Sequins (also Gina K).  I think this technique makes such a classy CAS card and will definitely be making more, and like I said earlier, using a bit more color.  Such an easy and fun technique...thanks Bonnie and Loll for getting me started!!  :0)

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
