Instructions:
1.
Ink up brayer with classic dye ink and brayer Ľ sheet vellum. Repeat with
second color. Sample used Stampin’ Up! Summer Sun and Really Rust. Let dry.
2.
Crumble the inked vellum carefully in your hand. The vellum is brittle
and will crack, but even if it does crack it’s okay. The cracks just add to the
aged look!
3.
Open the vellum and flatten it as much as you can. 
4.
Set the iron on dry setting with no steam. Place the vellum between two
pieces of paper and iron it to flatten it out more.
5.
Stamp the vellum with desired stamps and ink. Let dry.
6.
Tap the VersaMark ink on the ridges of the vellum that were made when it
was crumbled.
7.
Using a paintbrush, apply Pearl Ex to the VersaMark areas.
8.
Tear all four edges of the vellum.
9.
Stamp the layers of cardstock if desired. Sample used Stampin’ Up Canvas
Background.
10.
Attach vellum to the fist layer by punching holes in the corners
with the 1/16” punch and copper brads.
11.
Finish mounting vellum and first layer to the base card.
12.
Finished the card by stamping on a tag and folding tag around the card
from front to back. Add a ribbon for added embellishment.
Helpful tips:
Brads
or eyelets can be used to attach vellum to cardstock. You can, also, use special
made vellum tape. The tape will not show through when used on the vellum. In
addition, I have used Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects. Apply a small dot to each
corner and stick to the cardstock. Crystal Effects dries clear and will not show
through the vellum.
This
technique is wonderful for scrapbooking black and white photos. See sample made
with my sister’s photo in my personal gallery.
