Tutorial Challenge at Inspired by Stamping.

There is a great new tutorial over at Inspired by Stamping 

and it is to make a card with coloured vellum.

I haven't used too much vellum but after seeing this great tutorial 

I thought it time I got that vellum stash out and had a play with it.

I was also having some fun with a few new products I had purchased recently.

They were Ranger's Sticky Embossing Powder and Twinklets Diamond Dust.

I used basic red card stock for the base and added some designer paper.

Also used

Spellbinders Fleur De Lis

GinaK Vogue Vases stamps set

IBS Elegant Flowers.

Vellum

White Embossing Powder

I stamped the IBS flower onto the vellum and inked the image. 

It wasn't as dark as I wanted so cut out another flower and attached it to the back.

I embossed the vase with the sticky embossing powder 

and then sprinkled the diamond dust to it. It gives it a crystal like look.

It is a shame the photograph doesn't show the rhinestones as sparkly as they are. 

Finished off with some glitter around the Fleur De Lis.

Don't know if I added a bit to much bling

 but felt that it needed something especially as the vase was so sparkly.

I enjoyed this tutorial and will be making more before this challenge ends.

Thanks for stopping by.
