Color on Vellum – Technique #1
When stamping an image on vellum you’ll need to either use heat embossing, as I’ve done on today’s cards, or StazOn ink. Water-based and dye-based inks will not permanently dry on vellum cardstock. When applying ink, turn your image over and apply it from the backside. Sponge Daubers are my favorite tool for this technique.

Color on Vellum – Technique #2
This card is a 2-for-1 technique! I used alcohol-based Stampin’ Blends Markers on both the front and the backside of the embossed image. Alcohol ink is permanent and a great option for coloring on vellum.
Look closely at the triangle areas of the image below. I used the Stampin’ Blends marker to add color to the front of this peacock, while the other colors were added to the backside. The contrast is beautiful!

Both cards are lovely! The colors you used are perfect. I think I like the format of the first one but the coloring with the blenders the best. Love watching your videos for great ideas.
So happy you like them, Vicki. Thanks for coming by to watch.
