Coloring the back of vellum with alcohol markers

Happy Friday Stampers – there are many ways to use vellum in your card making and one of them is Coloring the back of vellum with alcohol markers.

I am back with another vellum idea to share with you. One of the easiest techniques for using vellum is to stamp your image on the vellum and heat set it then color the back using alcohol markers. That is the technique that I used for coloring my image for today. Coloring on vellum gives you a softer color. You can see the difference between the two in the third picture where you see the image colored on the card front and on the vellum.
