Sorry for the late post, friends!! I've been battling the Virus Monster this week and I feel ASLEEP instead of posting last night!!! Sheesh!!
Today's challenge is to use vellum in your project. I chose to do the stained glass technique (where you heat emboss the image on the front side of the vellum and color it with markers, reinkers, crayons, pencils or whatever is your favorite coloring tool on the back). But, since we truly are a "Free for All" ... you may use vellum any way you wish, just so long as you use it!!

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

I'm going to cheat just a little. I did a card for this week's CCEE challenge, which was also to use vellum -- but never uploaded it to SCS. I promise to do another vellum card later today. But in the meantime, here's my Thinking Vellum.
Sounds great...I work nights and just got home so I will be back to play later. In the meantime, here is a blog post from Melstampz blog that is chock full o' vellum ideas:
Wnedy- hope you feel better soon! Good challenge here! I used Prickly Pear's Girl with Basket stamp and some ribbons, a fabric flower and vellum- here's Live, Love, Laugh.

I've been quilting up a storm! Or, at least a bunch of crib sized quilt tops... Some for the nursery at our HS, one just finished for a first grade classroom at the school where I used to teach. SO, my challenge cards this week have been fairly CAS.
Don't often use vellum in my projects, and have some interesting pieces in my stash. Thanks for this great challenge!

I've been meaning to get to this all week. I'm finally doing it as I was prompted by today's Ways to Use It challenge to use green so that gave me an idea for combining the two challenges:
