I decided to go for some machine stitching to attach a vellum circle onto my card and used stamps from Uniko our wonderful sponsor for this game.
But I'm getting ahead of myself as the stitching was actually the last thing that happened on my card. I stamped the flowers and BIRTHDAY sentiment onto the card base first, then stamped and heat embossed the HAPPY onto a piece of vellum. The vellum was die cut into a stitched sircle shape and then attached with the stitching.
Stitching is a great way to attach vellum as it's meant to show and I've yet to find a glue that really doesn't show through vellum at all.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, All Occasion Sentiments #2, Flower Power #4
Inks: Ranger distress, picked raspberry, mustard seed; Memento, tuxedo black; Versamark
Embossing: Crafty Impressions, black rainbow sparkle
Die: MFT Die-namics, double stitched circle stax

This card is fantastic. I've never tried stitching on a card, and I certainly never though of it as a way to attach a vellum piece. What a great tip! I love the orange and black contrast. Love the embossing on the vellum. Awesome design and the black stitching sets the whole thing off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to add real stitching to your card. I tried but it was unsuccessful. I love how the stitching to adhere the vellum to your card. Lovely card! xx
