This was an attempt to pair two flower backgrounds of similar
design but of different scale. I used
two rich colors and set them off with white in order to zing things up. The problem was that the flourish diecut didn’t
show up well on the small-scale, busy background . . . actually, it sort of got
eaten alive, poor thing. But, we intrepid stampers need never say
die . . .
. . . vellum to the rescue! I piped a very thin line of glue across the
top of the vellum panel, tucked it under the banner, and voila!: a secure adherence with no glue show-through. The vellum gave just enough misty
translucence to tone down the background and rescue the diecut. YAY! Still,
I’d love to figure out stuff like this in advance: 20/20 hindsight can be a real pain to work
around . . .
