This month at Unstampabelles we are playing with Vellum. Be sure to visit Unstampabelles to see what the Design Team have created. Christmas cracker, flowers, pergamano all are beautiful.
I found a wonderful tutorial by Kara which I used for these fun Christmas Stocking Gift Bags. I think I will be making another one to add to these two and give to the ladies at the school tuckshop as a thank you this year from the P&C.
I started with white spotted vellum and machine stitched to pieces together in a stocking shape. The holly leaves I hand cut from some green Bazzil card stock, the holly berries are peals colured with R29 Copic Pen.
This stocking topper I tried some red 'flock' that I have had in my stash for ages. So in real life it has a lovely soft velvety feel.
This topper I embossed in a quilted pattern and then added leftover gold sticker to each join of the pattern.
Come on over to Unstampabelles and enter so I can see your wonderful creation.
This months prize is from one of our Design Team members - Beth
