Someone at work asked me to make a sympathy card for their friend, so I had to make one quickly. I remember seeing the idea somewhere on the web or one of the magazines and always wanted to try to layer vellum on top of the image, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I printed bouquet and colored it with different shades of purple. Then I embossed vellum with "with deepest sympathy" with dark purple
then I added a little piece of folded ribbon on top of the vellum. Overall I was happy with the technique and thought of many other ways to use it.Thank you girls for stopping by! And thank you for all sweet comments you left me for my Alice card - I greatly appreciate it! Thank you, you are all sooooooooooooooo sweet to me!!!
SOFT and so PRETTY.
ReplyDeleteVellum is a really nice touch to a sympathy card...Your card was really good and I'm sure the recipient thought it was beautiful I should have made some a couple of weeks ago..but put it off...They make me feel funny!! Ooops another secret's out!!
ReplyDeleteI might need therapy before all this blogging is over!!!

wow this is gorgeous. I will definitely have to remember this and make one myself..
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card hun!!! I also like to emboss on vellum on the front side, and then color on the back side. It gives a stained glass look!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely! The vellum gives such a soft feel over the image and the little piece of ribbon looks just perfect on the vase. I'm sure your friend was very happy with this.
