Create a Vellum Frame Overlay with Framelits

Vellum frames are an easy way to overlay a pretty accent to an otherwise one layer card! The translucent nature of vellum allows images to show through the overlay. Especially when they are paired with bold and vibrant floral images like the ones shown here from the Healing Hugs stamp set. Since it is a translucent paper, it can be tricky to adhere to your card without the adhesive showing. I have found that All Purpose Liquid Glue applied to the entire piece of the vellum overlay is the best solution. (Watch video below)

The Stitched Season Framelits are perfect for creating pretty frame overlays with vellum. Because the dies include stitching on both the positive and negative images, there is decorative stitching around all the edges of the frame! However, the Stitched Season Framelits are only available for a limited time starting today. To learn more about the Stitched Season Framelits promotion – CLICK HERE.

Vellum Accents Add Texture and Dimension

Vellum Accents Add Texture And Dimension

Vellum accents are a great way to add coordinating texture and dimension to your cards. On this card, the Love What You Do floral stamp images create the focal point image and background images. Because the floral shape in the Eclectic Layers Thinlits coordinates well with the floral image in Love What You Do, I chose it to create my accents. In addition, it has nice leaf/greenery stems to tuck in with the flower image! Since the resist technique background is somewhat busy, the vellum creates a soft, subdued accent.

Resist Technique Used To Create Background

The background of this card is created with a resist technique on glossy card stock. To learn more about this technique – CLICK HERE. In addition, this background features a monochromatic Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape color combo. Using this color combo allowed me to add shadows to the floral images in the resist background. To do this, I stamped the solid floral image in Gorgeous Grape over the original resist in Highland Heather. After which, I wiped off the excess ink with a tissue once again. The resist background is anchored to a Gorgeous Grape card stock base.

The vellum accents were added to the resist background with glue dots. However, liquid glue would work as well. Lastly, the Stitched Circle and Stitched Label were added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: The Stitched Label has a glue dot attaching it to the Stitched Circle while a Stampin’ Dimensional is used on the opposite end.
