Double Stamped Vellum for Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

More with the Double Stamped Vellum.


I added a little embossing in the corner and a shiny foil sentiment.


This one took a bit of a different turn.  I had a piece that had been watercolored (poorly
watercolored), and I had tried to smoosh it in some gesso to tone it down.
Well, that didn't really help.  But placing it behind the double stamped vellum gave
another dimension and a good place to use this mishap.

Another amazing vellum creation, Bonnie - and I love the twist! Another dimension, and the chance to add a little muted pattern and color!
Beautiful!

These are absolutely gorgeous! I love seeing how you used this technique. What really caught my eye is how you used a watercolor behind the second card adding just a dash of pink to the image. You are really on a roll there!

Both are gorgeous, Bonnie! Just love the touch of corner embossing on card one and I really love the extra color of the boo-boo vellum! Bet you're glad you didn't discard that panel, eh?!

JoAnn said...

Two beautiful cards with this technique that you do so well. Good save with the watercolored piece behind the stamped vellum. That green foil sentiment really pops on both cards.

Bobby said...

That technique is great with the pine branches, Bonnie. I can't wait to get home and go through my stamps to make more of these cards. Good for you for saving that colored panel from the recycle bin.

Marcia Hill said...

WOW, WOW, WOW! These are both AMAZING Bonnie...I'm especially in LOVE with the 1st one! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! I really, REALLY need to try this technique!! Hugs. :0)

I am behind in commenting, but I have to say this double stamping on vellum is stunning. I scrolled back to see what I missed and every card is beautiful. Your card with Michele is so pretty too. I must try that vellum stamping.

Gorgeous double stamped vellum Christmas cards, Bonnie. I have yet to try this beautiful vellum technique. You have me so inspired...just need more time. Harvesting our veggie garden is taking up all my extra time...but it will happen. TFS my friend and love how you saved the background on your 2nd card too:-) Love and Hugs..Nancy

I still haven't tried this, but I am enjoying your creations with this technique so much! Your mishap sure added something special to your card. The muted colors are lovely!

Darnell said...

Lisa and I are always on the same page, lol! I haven't tried this yet either, darn it, and I just love these! I'm a big fan of evergreen branches, so this is a great choice for this amazing technique and I love how you got creative with your second beautiful design! Hugs, Dolly

Absolutely gorgeous, Bonnie, and love the shiny green sentiment with them! Gosh, the color in the second card adds a whole extra level of pretty. Just can't go wrong with this double stamped vellum. It's on my list to try after seeing all your cards.

Love your double stamped vellum cards, Bonnie! The corner embossing is a wonderful design element, and a great save of the watercolored background! The shiny green die-cut sentiment adds a festive feeling.

Wow! Sometimes when things don’t turn out as planned work out even better! This is gorgeous!

Pat said...

This is such a pretty technique on vellum Bonnie and I love the colours and the framing on the two with the stitched rectangular apertures, and the first with the extra dry embossed pine branches, and also the super metallic green die cut sentiments on both which add the perfect finishing touch..such elegant cards! x
