Coloring On Vellum With Alcohol Markers
Hi there crafters! Good to see you here! Spring is definitely around us, beautiful and inspiring! And today’s card is another flower card!

To be honest, I usually use vellum to stamp my messages or perhaps to add some kind of embellishment on my cards. But today, I was inspired by instructor Sara Naumann and her Magical Marker Techniques course over at the Altenew Academy, and thought to try and color on it with my copic markers.
I started by stamping the outline images from the Spring Daisy stamp set with Versamark ink on a piece of vellum and heat embossing it with white embossing powder. Then flipped the vellum over and colored the flowers with copics. The colors I used are: RV10, RV11, R85 for the petals and YG03, YG67 for the stems.
I love how soft and kinda messy the final result is. Reminds me of watercolored images. So, I continued by white heat embossing the ‘hello’ sentiment and adding some white splattering with white gouache and a water brush.

I ripped the top and the bottom of the vellum piece and attached it onto a piece of Pale Gray cardstock with a couple of matching eyelets and some twine.
I always like to give the receiver something interesting to touch on the card, even if it’s a rather CAS card such as this one. So, 3D elements are most of the times on my embellishment list. I think it adds something to the whole ‘handmade’ feel.

My panel was finally adhered on a standard A2 card base and done!
I’m so happy I gave this technique a try and I hope you will too. Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you soon!
