Recently a dream came true for one of the most talented card makers I know. Ivana, I couldn't be more happy for you!! May I introduce you to my first purchase from Pigment Craft Company... and show you why having the layering stencil included in this gorgeous Blooming Floral stamp and stencil set is such a smart idea on her part!
Have you ever heat embossed an image on vellum, and colored the back side of it? The look is soft - a bit ethereal in my view. What if I told you using the back side of those stencils is the easiest way EVER to add ink?? Yeah, that's exactly what I said the back side of the stencil!!!
Here's what that looks like... from the back [after lining up the easiest stencil I've ever used - all pertinent bits are identifiable by an etched outline] adding the first colors of green.
Soft and beautiful on the front!
Ready for the finished product? Here's the closeup...

Oh that’s so ethereal and beautiful. I’m a big fan of vellum and acetate, and this works beautifully. Stunning card x
Holy moly Michele! I just saw this beauty over on Instagram and had to come see the details! This is such a wonderful idea to use a blending brush with a stencil on the backside of the vellum! I've tried Copic coloring on the backside of vellum, but was a bit underwhelmed by the results. Your card is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing this awesome idea!
Very nicely colored and you're the queen for sharing the process! The resulting card is beautiful.
Oh my, hello gorgeous! I haven't done this vellum technique in forever. Gosh I love your results and I know Ivana will too!
I'm not quite sure I understand the process but I sure LOVE the end result...absolutely GORGEOUS Michele!!! :0)
I have no idea what happened here in this blog post but whatever it was .....it was magical! That type of magic does not happen in my craft room! Amazingly beautiful!
Beautiful card, Michele! So soft and elegant looking. Wonderful use of the stencil. Congratulations to your friend. May she have tremendous success. Thank you for sharing. Hugs!
My beautiful friend, your card and technique are simply breath-taking! I cannot help but to admire every single detail and all of that ethereal softness - it gives me the tingles in the most heartwarming way! You know I am SUCH a fan, and to see you create something with one of Pigment's products is an indescribable feeling. THANK YOU for sharing this post and this incredibly creative tip - mind blown!! xo
Only one word for this amazing card...exquisite. Soft, ethereal, beautifully detailed. You totally took my breath away. Absolutely fabulous.
This is just so pretty. Vellum is so good for giving this lovely soft feel. I love the little peaks of coral, a wonderful detail xx

I'm a big fan of pastels, so I'm totally in love how you colored these lovely blooms and leaves, Michele! I also love that you chose vellum for the sentiment...Another beautiful card, my friend! xx
A beautiful stamp that makes a beautiful card! Awesome coloring and I love how the vellum gives it such a soft, dreamy look!
So beautiful, Michele, and the double layer base showing a perfectly matching cs is gorgeous!

A stunning card Michele, so soft and girly! Vellum is always so beautiful to work with and boy did you work with it and I love it!
