Love

WOO HOO!  New technique!  Well, new to me, anyway.  It involves vellum's special talent, a stylus, a stencil, and a little bit of your time . . .

Some Assembly Required (SAR) is a highly creative company with an eye for the intricate.  Captivated by vellum's unique ability to change from sheer to opaque white when pressure is applied, SAR Owner Sandy Jackson has come up with a boatload of lovely designs that require only a 1mm stylus and a stencil to bring them to life.

On this anniversary card for my brother Gordy and sister-in-law Sally - the letters "G", "S", the dotted backgrounds, and the flower were all done by pressing the tip of the stylus into the vellum which was placed over an SAR stencil.  The vellum can be colored afterwards to enhance the effect in open areas of the design.  I did that here, using a white Prisma pencil over the large letters and the little flower.

As I didn't have a stencil with small enough letters, I traced over an alphabet die to create the "Love" word.  Worked great!
