Back to Basics and Beyond challenge - Stamping / colouring Vellum




Hi
This fortnight at Back to Basics and Beyond Challenge we are doing Stamping / colouring Vellum.
This is not really me but I did find it a lot easier than I first thought,  as I had no vellum only parchment I had to go and buy some vellum,   Using my favorite stamp by Penny Black called Fantasy,  I seem to have used this stamp a lot this year.  
I stamp the tree three times covering part of the tree at each end so they the side ones look behind the one in the middle,  I put coloured dots in the trees they are supposed to be lights in the trees,  the white for snow was harder as the white would not show though the vellum very well,   so in the end I got out my parchment kit and with a grid on the back,  did dots for the falling snow and snow on the branches.    I added some silver dots on the front to give the image a little sparkle.
I fixed the vellum to a dark blue card and then onto a grey card, added a snowflake Brad,  a white ribbon bow, and a Merry Christmas from stock.
We would be delighted to see you at Back to Basics and beyond challenge blog with your entry,   here is a link to the blog

                                        Hugs
                                      Margaret

  5. I like the contrast the coloured dots give. Good that a challenge uses techniques you don’t usually use.
