Fabulous Friend Vellum Card

By: Kelly Butler-Fusco

Hi guys! I’m a HUGE fan of vellum. So on occasion, I try to make vellum cards using heavyweight vellum as my card base. I got this #48lb vellum from CutCardStock, and it’s fantastic.

To start off, I scored my vellum to create a top folding A2 card. Then I die cut my frames.

I glued my outer frame and inside frame (so as not to see the glue, which was barely visible anyway).

I added shimmer on my card front frame. Since it’s a mostly white card, I wanted to make it sparkle 😉 I used a Spectrum Noir Shimmer Pen. You can see it pretty good below.

Once that was glued down and dry, I added my watercolor floral image to the bottom left. I also die cut a blank image of this to hide the glue on the inside. Again, it wasn’t really necessary as it was hardly visible.

In this image, you can see the layout a bit better.

I also die cut “Fabulous Friend” (from Concord & 9th) and glued it down. I also cut another for the inside – also not needed, but I did it anyway.

After I had all my pieces glued down, I decided to add a rectangle center to be able to write a sentiment at some point. You will see that in the last pic.

I added a bit of shimmer to my flower, and some Tonic Nuvo Stone Drops in White. (These are way cool). And that’s it!
