My sister belongs to a small group of ladies who gather a couple of times a month to paper craft. This is one of the techniques they used recently. It’s very easy but makes a big statement.

I stamped a piece of Vellum Card Stock with the Blended Bloom stamp. You can use Staz-On ink; or you can use the Classic Stampin’ Pads and either heat set the ink or leave it to dry completely. I used Blackberry Bliss ink and left it to dry overnight.

I flipped the vellum over and laid it on a Stampin’ Pierce Mat. Then I used my Simply Scored Stylus to “draw” on the image. You must be careful not to poke through the vellum. You can draw lines, as I did on the petals, or completely fill in areas which will turn white.

I fussy cut the image with my Paper Snips and attached it to the card front. Remember that any adhesive will show through the vellum. I chose to stack two Stampin’ Dimensionals and attach the very center of the flower to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set.

The leaves were cut with the Bird Builder Punch, and the Banners were cut with the new Banner Triple Punch.

The banners were also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s what I used:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
