I’m still in my use up scraps/old paper packs trend, but I am also trying to do some research for my April Crafting Retreat. So, you can see some paper from the Emporium paper, but I’m mostly focused on the vellum flowers.Here is a close up shot. I’m not sure if you can see it, but I stamped versamark ink on vellum and covered with white (or silver) embossing powder. Being careful to not overheat the vellum, I set the powder with my heat gun then fussy cut out each of the flowers. (I did 4 silver and 4 white) I then played with our alcohol markers and colored on the back (side without the embossing) with Z2449 Cerulean Blue light. Some I colored lightly and others with many “layers” of ink. After I added the color, I tried and move some of it with the blender pen. I really didn’t like this. Ideally I would have liked a mister with rubbing alcohol, but all of my spray pens had ink/color in them, so instead I used a dropper and “dropped” rubbing alcohol on the back of the flowers and let gravity pull it around to the edges.I hope to revisit these vellum flowers (hopefully finding a flower punch that coordinates with a cricut cartridge so I don’t have to fussy cut). Instead of a dropper, I’ll be prepared and have a spray pen available to “move” the alcohol marker ink.
That’s it for now.
Happy Crafting!
