VIBRANT GRACEFUL GLASS VELLUM FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Hi, Stampers!
It's been a while since I've posted, I know. I've been working on a scrapbook of our London and Paris trip this summer and as one who does not scrapbook (only one previous scrapbook, ever), it has been quite the project! See what I mean? How do you reduce 245 photos to a reasonably-sized scrapbook?! LOL There's a whole stack of photos still in my office!
Anyway, let's get to this Graceful Glass Vellum holiday/Christmas card. The colors didn't show up as vibrant as I would have liked in this photo. The measurements are the same as the card we made at September Stamp Camp (posted Sept. 8). So let's get started!

Instructions
- If desired, emboss front of card base (I used the Brick Wall TIEF)
- Using the second largest plain square Framelit, cut out the center of both the
3-1/2" and 3-1/4" pieces of DSP - With the fine tip end of a dark marker draw small diagonals from inside to outside corners of each "frame" piece to look like mitered corners (oops! I forgot to do that on this one - do as I say, not as I did) 😏
- Color Graceful Glass Vellum piece with Markers and/or Stampin' Blends in desired, bright colors
- NOTE - I've seen a suggestion that if you use Markers, you should color on the back side (the front is the side with the raised pattern) - I used Blends
- Glue edges of vellum piece onto WW square and adhere to card front
- Glue larger, 3-1/2" DSP frame piece over vellum piece
- Add Foam Adhesive Strips around edge of smaller frame and, if desired, darken the edges of the foam with an Early Espresso marker before adding to larger frame
- Stamp and die cut desired sentiment. Here, I used stamps and Thinlits from the Merry Christmas to All Bundle
- On this pattern of the vellum, I added Gold Shimmer Paint to the center circle and then a large Gold Faceted Gem after the photo was taken.
