I didn't think of it before I watched your video, but since vellum is plastic rather than natural fibers, I wasn't all that surprised that vellum works great with alcohol inks. That is not saying I wasn't stunned by the results!!!
Love all the ways to color the vellum. The Birthday Wishes card was so pretty. I don't have any Distress ink but I do have some mica sprays. Might have to experiment.
Any dye ink will work. Watch the amount of liquid you use on vellum. It tends to curl up. Maybe splatter the mica sprays and work in with a blender?? Let me know!
Great ideas! I have some other waxes and going to try that on vellum. Did you now you can also use alcohol markers and isopropal alcohol to colour vellum?
I believe Brusho is water based and a powder, correct? If so, then it won’t have the same effect; but it would be fun to try! If you make something with them on vellum, stop by my Facebook group and show us! 😊
One tip for the gilding wax, in order to bring out the metal "shine", you need to add heat. Obviously with the vellum you can't add a ton of heat as you said but a little should completely change the way that wax looks on the vellum. This was fun!
Oooh thanks! I knew that, and forgot!! I’ve got a few random piece left, so I’m going to give a try. 😊. It’s been a while since I’ve played with Foundry wax. 🤦🏻♀️
I totally forgot about heated it, until someone else reminded me 🤦🏻♀️. So no, I did not heat in this case, but I’m sure you could. Heating vellum can be tricky though. 😊
Loved the beautiful vibrant inks! Thanks for all the ideas! I didn’t know about putting cardstock behind the vellum when embossing. Can’t wait to try that! Hope you do more vellum ideas! ❤
Thank you! What type of reinkers? Oxides? If so it is not dried up. Pigment settles and I just turn the bottle a different way to encourage the pigment to move. Then shake,shake, shake.
@ThinkJesus1st I don’t know about the microwave. I’m doing some googling but I’m confused. Maybe you are talking Versafine Claire or Versafine? Versamark is only clear.
