Did you all see Jennifer Maguire's video for her Vellum Overlay card? Well this is my take on that technique. My vellum wouldn't be sturdy enough to make a card base so I just let it be a cover.
First I stamped the Purple Onion Designs Heart Flower image twice using my Mini Misti in Antique Linen Distress ink. Then I used my Copics to color it in for a no-line technique. Here's a shot of what that looks like.
The vellum piece was laid on top and I used my old trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the images for my Versamark stamping. Then I added the white embossing powder. This vellum warps and shrinks a bit so I had the trim it slightly to fit the card base better. Then I decided to trim a bit off the left side to let the cardstock color be seen at it's full color.
I machine stitched at the top to hold the vellum down and used some hemp cord at the bottom to do the same.
Copics used:
flowers Y11, Y17, Y38, YR68, R14, R24, R29
stems YG03, YG06, YG17, YG67
It's a great technique and one I want to play with some more.
Have a blessed day!

You did a wonderful job with that technique! Such a stunning card!
Omgosh, this is SO cool, Tracy! Absolutely LOVE the vellum overlay and the amazing colored flowers behind! Love, love, LOVE!
What a beautiful card, Tracy, and I did see Jennifer's vellum overlay post. She's amazing, and you've really done a great job with this sweet set of flowers with your no-line coloring. And great idea to stitch the top and use the hemp to hold down the bottom. I love the bit of "real" color of the base to show through too! Love it! Hugs1
