Double Stamped Vellum

Stamp on both sides of a vellum sheet for a unique background effect.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Place a background stamp on your work surface.
   
   Wipe a sheet of vellum with an anti-static bag.
   

   

2. Step 2

   Ink the stamp with Versamark ink.

   

3. Place the vellum over the background stamp. Gently rub over the vellum to ensure all areas are inked.

   

4. Step 3

   Remove, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set.

   

5. 

6. Step 4

   Ink the stamp once more using a water-based dye ink in the colour of your choice. Turn over the vellum and stamp on the reverse side.
   
   

   

7. TIP:
   A piece of scrap paper placed over the vellum will allow you to rub smoothly over all areas easily. (The embossed areas might cause drag and so result in a smudged stamping.)

   

8. Step 5 (Optional)

   Die cut a frame using 2 square dies (one slightly larger than the other) and either mount onto foam tape or cut several to make a stack to add definition.

   

9. Step 6

   6. Choose an area of the vellum which looks pleasing through the frame, cut out a square, and adhere to the back of it. (White embossed side uppermost.)

   

10. Step 7 (Optional)

    If desired a larger square can be dry embossed into the card front or front panel using a rubber mat and the sandwich for embossing for your particular machine.
