More Watercolor Vellum

Hello.  Have you tried to watercolor on vellum yet?



There's still some time to join in at
I am really enjoying this technique!
Thank you for choosing it this month, Jenny.


I found this die cut from vellum that a dear, sweet friend sent me a while ago.

I colored it on the front side with Zigs.

It did curl the vellum a bit, but I used it to my advantage.  Flowers are not flat IRL.

I popped it on a piece embossed with my new embossing folder.
I found it on Amazon and it was too big to go through my Big Shot.
An Xacto knife took care of that.  I can use it on portrait and landscape cards.
You'll probably be seeing a lot of it!

Our CAS Watercolour Design Team along with Guest Designers, Brigit and Ros
have some wonderful inspiration to share with you.

Hope you'll pull out your vellum and watercolors and have
as much fun as I did.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

The gorgeous shades of pink of your flower really pop against all that wonderful white space Bonnie! And flower is so soft and delicate and the shaping adds some lovely dimension. Great texture from your new embossing folder. What a great find! The skinny, square framing brings focus right to the beautiful flower. Great design, my friend! xx

Great find on Amazon even if you had to do surgery. That flower is gorgeous and your water color is beautiful. The shading is lovely and the flower and leaves. Cute little frame to showcase the flower.

Has to be one of my favorites - love the embossed background!

Love that new embossing folder! And your watercoloured vellum flower is gorgeous. Great way to add interest with the frame set at an angle.

TK said...

Gorgeous! LOVE that ef, and your colored vellum is gorgeous too! Quite interesting is your flower is behind the frame on bottom, then in front of the frame on top!

Anita in France said...

So gorgeous, Bonnie ... the background texture is just delicious ... and I love how you framed that wonderfully coloured bloom with the perfectly 'frilly' petals ... beautiful! Hugs, Anita :)

WOW...this is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie! I love how you spotlighted that beautiful vellum flower with the simple white frame and the embossed background all in white adds so much lovely texture too...LOVE this card!! :0)

Bobby said...

Do you have a license to do surgery, Bonnie? ;) I would do it too to be able to use that wonderful folder, Ms Embossing Queen. I just fished out a flower I colored on vellum and die cut but didn't like. Now that I see your wonderful creation, I could use the same die without embossing the flower and just color it. Your card is spectacular but how did you glue down that flower? I love it part in and part out of the frame.

Wow this is so elegant and sophisticated, Bonnie! I love the pretty tone of pink and rich green! You inspired me to try coloring my vellum die-cuts with Zig markers. The script embossing in the background adds so much interest (worth the surgery!) and the thin tilted frame is such a well-thought-out, clever design element. This has become my favorite Corn Flower die-cut card, my friend!

The vellum cut with this delicate flower die works wonderfully with the natural curl after coloring it - a beautiful card Bonnie!

Jo said...

Vellum does curl a lot, but you definitely used this to your advantage, so clever. That pop of colour against a white on white BG and white frame make it spectacular. A beautiful CAS card dear friend.xxx
