Good morning everyone.  Today is a day for another BS & J Challenge.  This time we have a Vellum Challenge.

OK, I will admit.  This was my (bad) idea.  I have rarely used vellum because I really have no idea what to do with it.  For some unknown reason, I decided to make myself do it.  You know I am a big fan of quick and easy cards.  This was not a quick and easy process.  The card itself was not hard to make.  It was just the figuring out part that was. I tried a lot of different ideas that were in my head that all ended up in the trash.  Thank goodness for other talented Demonstrators and Facebook!  I finally ended up CASEinng  (Copy And Share Everything) a fellow Demonstrator named Kelly Acheson (thank you Kelly).  She even did a video on how to make this card. Kelly used a different stamp set and coloring medium and her cardstock sizes were a little different but it is basically her design.

To make this card I used the stamp set called Peaceful Poinsettia.  This is a stamp set that is in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  I used my Stamparatus to make this card because you need to line up the Vellum piece with the inside piece.  I first stamped in Versamark and then sprinkled White Embossing Powder over it and set it with my Heat Tool.  Then I flipped the Vellum piece 180 degrees and repeated the embossing process.  I left the stamps in the same position and stamped on a 2 1/4″ x 3.5″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with Memento Ink.  Then I flipped the cardstock and stamped it again.

I colored the piece of Whisper White cardstock using my Dark and Light Real Red and Dark and Light Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends.  I backed this piece with Basic Black cardstock ( 2.5″ x 7.25″ folded in half) and adhered this to the inside of the Vellum making sure I lined everything up.

Here is what it looks like in front of a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.

This is what is underneath the Vellum.

This is the inside of the card.

Now let’s go see what Jackie and Buffy did with Vellum.  I hope it was a much easier process than mine for both of them.
