Sweet Stamps Challenge #5

Sweet Stamps Challenge #5:

Parchament/Vellum Challenge

We were asked to use parchament/vellum for for this challenge.  We were taught a fun technique to do called "Parchament Craft".  We were sent some supplies in our package to create a project with this technique.

Here is a you tube tutorial from the owner Stacey.

Here's my creation:

I used the "Cutwork Daffodil" from Sweet Stamps for this card. I also used "Spots" embossing folder, "Dark Purple Rhinestones", "White" Dye Ink, and "Vellum" that can also be purchased from Sweet Stamps.

I didn't do any dry embossing on mine as I used embossing powder instead, as by using embossing powder to give the little raised effect it helps when painting in the image with the paints. (if you get any paints on the embossed areas it easily wipes off)

1st: I stamped the image with the white dye ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder

2nd: I began coloring the image in with the CI Paints to give the image some yummy shimmer!!

 These paints dry pretty quickly so I tried to work fast so that I could shade with them.  I wanted to some what mix the colors while they were still wet, rather then just laying the colors on top of each other.

* Note you want to use a small amount of the paints, otherwise if you use to much the vellum does shrivel a little.

Look at this shimmer:

I used CI Paints Sage, Evergreen, Green Olive, Citrus, Buttercup and Canary to color in the "Cutwork Daffodil" image.  The entire time I was painting the image I kept thinking how it was turning out like faux stained glass.
