V is for Vellum

It is time to show another card in my alphabet series. Today the letter is V so I used vellum two ways on this card. I found some leaf printed vellum in my stash and used it for the background. Next I stamped three leaves on plain vellum and embossed them using a glitter copper embossing powder. I colored on the back of them using various colors of alcohol markers. They were fussy cut and added to the front of the card.

Stamp:  Leaf - Unknown

Saying: Stampin' Up

Embossing Powder:  Log Cabin - Sparkle N Sprinkle

Printed Vellum - Paper Studio

Alcohol Markers - Caliart

U is for Ugly Background

I am back again this month with another card for my alphabet series. The letter is U, so I used an ugly background! I have thousands of backgrounds in my stash. When you start playing with products you can't just make one background, you have to keep playing because it is so much fun! I found this background where I had used marbles to ink up card stock. You adhere the card stock to the bottom of a food takeout container, add some drops of reinkers, place a few marbles on top, close the lid and shake the marbles around. I have some pretty backgrounds, but this one looks fuzzy and the colors are not that great. I love adding layers and embellishments on my cards. After all is done the background does not look too bad!
