Today is another Marks' Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.'s Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV - and the tutorial presented today is by Tammylee - Coloring on Vellum. I had done this technique one time before - but didn't really like the results. I used Copics and the blending isn't the best on vellum - but when you turn it back over on the front side - it looks fine. (To go and check out the tutorial - click on the hot link above - and once you arrive at SpeedyTV, click on Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV tab - and then select the most current tutorial - easy peasy.
The only thing about stamping on vellum is that you can't use a normal adhesive - because it shows through the vellum. Therefore, I used blue brads to keep it attached to the CS. If anyone has heard of an adhesive that can be used with vellum and doesn't show - let me know!!
This beautiful stamp set will be awarded to the winner of this week'sTutorial Time on SpeedyTV!!

Thanks for stopping by - later gator!
In awhile crocodile (could not resist with your later gator). Like the CAS look to this and your coloring is wonderful. I like to use vellum for calligraphy. Not thought to use heat gun to dry the stamped image which makes for it drying faster & no smudges when you turn it over. Not thought to turn it over to color. Will definitely give this a try.

greetings karin
Wonderful effect on vellum! Great idea to use brads!
ReplyDeleteKathy You did a beautiful job coloring on the vellum. Yours looks very smooth, I had a hard time with that :) I really like how you used the brads to attach the vellum. I used the adtech snail roller adhesive and it didnt seem to show thru the vellum.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and serene. I love the brads that gives it just the right amount of color, but yet lets it keep the soft look. I loved doing the vellum. I had done this long ago and forgotten about this technique. I ended up with a streaky sky, but decided it gave it a water color look.
ReplyDeleteI love how you did this scene on the Vellum!!! BRILLANT!
