February Technique Class - Vellum Layers

 Using Vellum on your cards not only adds depth but also is a nice focal point. You want to be careful though when adhering vellum to your card front.  Create your card front and then adhere to the front of the Vellum piece. Apply adhesive only where the flowers, leaves, etc. are. If needed apply a tiny drop of glue to the four corners and then cover with a gem dot.

Here are the cards:
