Bah! Humbug! #40 - Using Vellum

This week I have reverted to type and made a vintage card - yes! The background paper is by Papermania, the stamp by Personal Impressions and the snow flakes by Crafty Individuals. Pretty simple really - gold embossing on the vellum , the image, stamped onto watercolour paper, coloured with pencils and the edges torn and inked. The sentiment is not as cock-eyed as it looks in the photo, I assure you! I had a flash of inspiration when I was mounting the card and punched some holes with a hole punch to show the backing card through.
I hope you like my card and please feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.Posted by Picasa

  3. Welcome back, Janet. I see you are back all refreshed and creating again. This card is beautiful and I really love those 3 punched holes. Wonderful coloring too. You must use hot press WC paper or you'd have ridges.

    It sounds as though you and Wanda have done the same as my CSQ buddies and I have done and forged a lovely friendship. I can remember you sitting next to me at the workshop where you met Wanda.
