RAINBOW VELLUM AND SILHOUETTE STAMPS

BLACK INK AND RAINBOW VELLUM

I know its a bit of a cheat calling this a "technique", but it is worth knowing how effective silhouette stamps (this is a lovely example from Darkroom Door) look on rainbow vellum!!

Just be sure to leave plenty of time for the ink to dry as it will take longer than normal paper.  I used Memento, a dye-based ink for this example.  Staz-On would work well as it would dry more or less straight away, but I'd probably steer away from the thicker pigment inks.

Another word of warning......(or do as I say not as I do).....If you look at the base of the left hand side of the windmill you will see a small boomerang mark.  This is not a part of the design but where I left a mark with my fingernail that could not be stamped over. Vellum is very sensitive to pressure so handle with card!
