My first though when I opened up my pack of White Velvet Paper was, perhaps oddly, "I wish I'd had this to use for carpet when I was making cards with interior Christmas scenes"! Then I thought it would be great for snowy hills or cutting out snowflake decorations. But I really wanted to put it through its paces and see what could be done with it.
Heat embossing on White Velvet Paper |
I did find, though, that I had trouble getting a clean finish with the Mistletoe stamp - however gentle and careful I was with stamping, the velvet picked up Versamark from the spaces between the mistletoe sprigs. So, I brushed it off with a small brush. That process wasn't 100% successful but I wasn't unhappy with the resulting shadow effect.
Some colour was added to the White Velvet Paper with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers |
Using the Stamparatus, I was able to stamp the greeting in Real Red ink and then overstamp it with Versamark before clear heat embossing it.
I also did some 3-step stamping on the velvet with inks which came out really well and I'll share that card in the near future.
Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
