TLC259 ~ Frosted Window ~ (02/08/10)

[Toy]

Welcome, Friends!

I am posting a wee bit early tonight �. Hope you don�t mind

To all my New Orleans Saints fan friends�. Congrats!!

Today I am inviting you to try a technique that I came up with�. At least I have never seen it done before .

~~ Frosted Window ~~

This is a twist on stamping on vellum. I think the result is awesome!

You will need:

• Cardstock
• Vellum
• Fast drying Ink
• Stamps
• Dimensional
• Coloring medium of your choice

I have attached a word doc that shows the very simple process. I have also included the instructions on my blog, if you prefer (though I did not do this for comments, so please don�t feel that you need to comment. It just might be easier for some).

Here is my sample:

~ Frosted Rose ~

When uploading your card or project, please make sure you include the KEYWORD TLC259 (no spaces).

You can find the TLC259 gallery HERE.

I am excited to see what twist you girls will put on this!! Go create!!

Hugs!

Oh Bless you Holly!

I love vellum and it appears I don't need to worry too much about folding!

Folding and I are arch enemies! LOL! although I actually managed a wiper card this weekend! I had to watch Beate's Utube about 4 times though!

I'll think on this at work tomorrow and post my creation later in the week. This one is WAY more to my abilities YEAH!!

[2manycookbooks]

Sorry if I'm dumb.. but I don't want to assume. When you say "dimensionals" are these like pop dots or some sort of adhesive that pops up but adheres your paper? Just making sure. whenever I assume, it's ALWAYS wrong so I have learned NEVER to assume.

I'm getting you want to attach but provide a space between your frame and the vellum/image under it. right?

Beautiful technique Holly. I can't wait to give this a try!

[bspinks]

[debwinia]

Very interesting! I need to get my mojo back and this looks like it could do it! Thanks for sharing!

[Clownmom]

I wasnt' sure I was going to get this uploaded before leaving for work -- had a little uploading problem, but it finally posted. Cool technique, Holly. Here's my Frosted Spring Window.

I'll be back after work to comment.

[schirmcat]

WAY cool, Holly...now if I can just dig up some vellum around here, hee!

You got it! Dimensionals is SU's name for the product.

This is a very nice technique, Holly. I'm going to try to make time to do it this week so I can particiapte in the challenge. May also share the technique with my friends during out weekly stamp club meeting if you don't mind.

Thanks, Holly, I may even get a chance to do this one. Be back later, hopefully.

[angelanne21]

Did you do the shading around the rose on the cardstock or the vellum? Or both? TIA

I did the shading around the rose on the back of the vellum. I haven't tried it the other way, so not sure how that would show through

[Cici510]

What a fun technique! I am definitely going to try this later. I do not use my vellum nearly enough.

[allee's]

Thanks for this fun challenge, Holly! Your sample is a stunning beauty!

Here is my card:

Blue Butterfly in Ferns

[MariLynn]

Holly, what a fun technique. Thank you!!! I spent more time looking for my vellum, that I never use, than I did making the card!!

Here is my card.

[marilynprestonn]

Had fun with this Holly, maybe next time I will have white velum...

FIFTH AVENUE BLUE ROSE

I've tried twice, after getting home late and doing all the weekly chores.
First time, my vellum was too thick (the one I mostly use is really more like cardstock) and it didn't really work.
So then I found some thinner vellum with a pattern printed on it - but even after heat-setting and an hour's rest time, my ink smudged. It's too late for me to try again tonight, so I'll just enjoy seeing what other people have been creating.

[TreasureOiler]

Yeah! I finally finished this card....haha!

Great challenge, Holly...thanks!
Here is mine:
Friends.
Thanks for looking~

[Karen Wallace]

This was a fun challenge, thanks so much for the technique. Here is mine it is frosted even though it didn't scan that way. I even glittered the center of the flowers from the back side.

Aww, Sabrina! I am so sorry you're having a tough time with it. I had the same issue with the first time I tried it. I learned quickly that the fast drying ink is a must. Even with the stazon ink, I had to let it dry for over an hour.

Perhaps you'll get a chance to try again some other time. We would love to see what you come up with!

Hugs!

[MariLynn]

Holly, you really challenged me today. I'm someone who rarely uses vellum. That I had to look for my vellum for a long time this morning is proof of that. I can't believe I made 2 cards using this technique. I like them both, but I think I am partial to my butterfly in blue.

[Maddy Mason]

Thanks for the great technique, Holly!

Here's mine- Thanks for looking, hope you like it!
