Zwei Beiträge an einem Tag – das hat Seltenheitswert! Aber ich wollte unbedingt noch auf den allerletzten Drücker bei der laufenden Challenge der Jingle Belles dabei sein, An Old-Fashioned Christmas. Alles Vintage oder retro ist erlaubt, echt oder nachempfunden.
Two posts in one day – a very rare occurence! But I wanted to participate at the current challenge over at the Jingle belles, An Old-Fashioned Christmas. Anyting vintage or retro, original or vintage-in-style.
Und dann möchte ich auch gleich noch bei der Juli Technik Challenge bei 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown mitmachen: Embossing auf Pergament. Auf den Gedanken wäre ich nicht gekommen, aber ich finde den Effekt, gerade wenn es sich um Schneeflocken handelt, ganz bezaubernd! Und eine kleine Innendeko gibt es auch:
I would also like to enter it at the July Technique Challenge over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown: embossing on vellum. I wouldn’t have thought of it but I really like the effect – especially when it comes to snowflakes. It’s right-down enchanting! And there’s also a bit of decoration inside:
Die Knöpfe sind ein bisschen eine Notlösung: es ist ungemein schwierig, Pergament zu fixieren, weil man den Kleber immer sieht. Jetzt aber nicht – da unter den Knöpfen. Tipps sind immer willkommen!
The buttons re a compromise, really: I find it very hard to fix/glue vellum because you always see the glue. But now it’s hidden – behind said buttons. If you can recommend a certain glue or something, I’d appreciate it!

Wait I can’t see the last challenge…..or do I have to wait till after you submit it? I am curious about the technique.

A perfect vintage card!! As for the vellum … I tend to put the glue where the image will hide it or you could try Crafty Notions Vellum glue… another idea is to fold your vellum over the back of your card and adhere it there …

I do have a vellum product, but I’m not home to look it up!
