Will It Foil? Part 3: Foil on Vellum

Another smooth medium for hot foil stamping is Vellum. a translucent paper that exudes elegance.

For this card, I hot foiled the butterflies/moths onto vellum paper with silver foil, then colored them on the BACK side of the vellum with Stampin’ Blends markers.

A card this pretty needs to be displayed, and since it’s also an easel, it can be! To make the base of the card, score an 8.5″ x 11″ card stock at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″, then attach the arch ONLY to the lower half of the card front. Remember to “lift” an element (in this case, the “thankful for you” label) inside the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the base something to lean against.
