DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #124: Altering Sheer Perfection Vellum
March 19, 2015
It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a Sketch Challenge!
Today's sketch is a good basic sketch, great for both beginners and experienced card makers. I decided to keep it simple and use some pattern paper for the focal point. I hadn't had a chance to work with the new Sale-a-Bration Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack, so today was the day to play.
If you come in closer, you can see that the flowers look white and yellow. That's not because of careful coloring. That's so not in my wheelhouse. I actually tried a few things to get the look I was going for.
- First I tried dry embossing the back side with a Simply Scored Stylus.
- Not quite what I was looking for, so instead I colored the back side of the vellum with 2014-2016 In Color Stampin' Write Markers (Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow).
- That was closer to what I was looking, but still not exactly what I envisioned.
- Then I thought, "hmm...what if I do both? Ooh...you may be onto something Dawn."
- Here's what I did...color first, then dry embossed. I was giddy with the results.
- (Note: the backside doesn't look so great, but the front...oh, so pretty!)
It's hard to capture the final look and feel. But trust me...this card just begs for you to touch it. In fact, I can't stop rubbing my hands over the flowers.
The greeting from Simply Wonderful and Baker's Twine from the In Color Accessory Pact are both Sale-a-Bration choices, which ends in just 10 days.
You're Simply Wonderful ~Dawn O

As Rhonda B recently shared,
I was looking for something to do to earn a little extra money after I retire...My wonderful sister, Rose, talked me into going along with her to a "stamp camp". I kept telling her, "I can't do this" and all she would ever say back was "YES YOU CAN".....Once there, I enjoyed myself and really enjoyed making cards. The cards lead into the paper crafts...and what a stress reliver it is! Although I am only in it as a hobbiest, we do craft shows every spring and fall. I have a few coworkers that keep me busy too. So Thanks to my wonderful sister, Rose, that is how I got connected to the DOstamper STARS too!
My community of STARS are located all over the United States. We have occasional local meetings (Twin Cities area), but mostly we gather online. In fact - tomorrow we're having a Virtual Gathering on facebook - woohoo! From sharing creative ideas and tips, swaps, business tips and more...we have a fabulous and supportive community that is looking forward to giving you a warm welcome!
Prefer a "local" connection? Contact me at dostamping@yahoo.com and we can try to connect you with a STAR who is more local to you.
