Hello Quick Quotes readers! Alicia with you today and I have been playing with some Powder Puff Chalking inks. I was experimenting with some vellum and embossing folders. I made a three cards for a wide variety of occasions. Vellum can be so versatile. Don't forget to check out Quick Quotes wide variety of vellum quotes. Here are some tips I discovered while playing:
- Chalk on the back starting lightly, you can always add more to achieve your desired effect
- Layering the vellum on a white or a light color will allow more true color to show
- For more coverage use a brush or large sponge (blue water)
- For more detail use a cotton swab or small sponge tip (fish)
