Hi there. I'm glad you stopped by!
There's still time to join in with Susan's Challenge at
This time I stamped a NBUS fun bird stamp and colored with Copic Markers.
I stamped again on vellum and heat embossed.
The vellum softens the look of the birds and I love the dreamy look!
Super easy and a good way to soften some over-bright coloring. ;-)
The challenge is open until June 24th.
Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Embossed Vellum
NBUS #15 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Three Little Birds (IO), Every Day Sayings (HA)
Ink: WOW Embossing, Blueberry Bushel (SU))
Paper: Neenah, Cardstock Vellum (SU)
Other: White EP, Copic Markers, Double Pierced Rectangles (Avery Elle)
The vellum looks great over the top of the fun and brightly coloured birds Bonnie and the white embossing contrasts beautifully, and the pierced rectangle aperture shows them off perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteAdorable trio of birdies, Bonnie - hard to believe it's NBUS when so darling!! Just love your coloring/embossing on vellum!!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, great colours that are still vibrant even under the vellum xx
ReplyDeleteThese little birdies are SO SWEET!!! Love them! The vellum really makes them even sweeter!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Bonnie, I love the effect of heat embossing on the vellum. xx

This is so darn CUTE Bonnie and I love the way you colored it! I have a post ready for Wednesday for the vellum challenge and I threw my first try away because I used Copics on the back of the vellum and it was too streaky! What a great idea though to just do the coloring on regular cardstock and then layer the embossed vellum over the top...now why didn't I think of that?! Absolutely wonderful card Bonnie...love it!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love your card and this super adorable stamp so much that I just now searched it out online and bought it! And I swore I wasn't going to buy any new stamps for a while, but you sold it to me. How utterly darling!
ReplyDeletethose three little birds are so darn adorable, I have to check these ones out :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to add vellum and have your bright copic colouring show through. These birds are so darn cute!! xx
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie - those birds look amazing - they almost look 3-D with the vellum overlay
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

I LOVE those little birds! Beautifully coloured and perfectly CAS!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, if you hadn't explained your process, I would swear that you colored the vellum! You CAS girls are just too smart - though I don't think I've ever met an over-bright-colored bird I didn't love. wink. xx

Love these birds! A really fab fun card Bonnie - and a technique that I will try colouring card first then putting the vellum on top. x
ReplyDeleteAre you serious, that is such a thing as too bright? In this case the vellum does make for a dreamy effect. Colors are still bold but the depth is flowing.
ReplyDeleteI love these cute little birds and their bright plume. This is a lovely take on embossed vellum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun stamp, Bonnie and I love the clean and neat look of the image under vellum. This is such a great technique! This is so well done!
ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable, simply loaded with cuteness. It was time to bring out this stamp. I am in love with this trio and your colour choice is perfect. ...like I said I am in love with this very special card :D

ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect image for the embossed vellum challenge, Bon! I love the stylized little birdies and how you colored and framed them! Keep well and thank you for sharing again at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to stamp the image on vellum and layer over the stamped and coloured one! It's a great look. I also really like the framing.

These birds are so cute, Bonnie! The vellum looks wonderful, having the fun colors showing through.

Another perfect card, Bonnie. I love the white embossing of vellum, because it works great with coloring these sweet birds. The window makes cropping even more marked. Big WOW!
