Christmas Card - Vellum Overlay

Vellum Overlay Christmas Card
I wanted to try out my alcohol markers properly so I stamped this bold flower background and used my touchfive alcohol marker - which I bought off AliExpress- to try out some colour blending.

Flowery Background Outline

To stamp this background I used Gina K Designs Jet black ink as it is alcohol marker friendly and coloured it all in.

Alcohol Marker Colored Background
Then I used clear embossing ink onto vellum to stamp "Wishing you the happiest Christmas filled with love, cheer & joy" from Simon Says Stamp's Holiday Greetings Mix 1" clear stamp set. Then I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the top and heat set it. I folded the top edge of the vellum over the top of the coloured background.

Vellum Overlay
To keep it in place I used double-sided tape to stick vellum on top edge to the notecard. Then I adhered leftover red strips with clear embossed stamping to the top and bottom edges. I founda  navy blue card and stuck the notecard to the front of that.

Finished Vellum Overlay Card

All done!

Happy Crafting!
