Quick Tip Tuesday - Using Ink on Vellum

Happy Tuesday everyone!  This week's quick tip is how to use ink on vellum to give more dimension on your project.  I used this technique on my Challenge Me Monday project this week.  

Here are the steps:

1.  First I embossed my vellum with the Stampin Up Snowflake Embossing folder.

2.  Then I used a sponge dauber and ink to highlight the area around each snowflake.


3.  I place some dimensionals on the back  to give a shadow effect with the lighter blue background. 


Here is a video where I got this technique from StampQueen101:


I hope you enjoyed this weeks quick tip.  Don't forget to link up your Challenge Me Monday projects and come back tomorrow to find out Wednesday's Winners.
