Card with vellum – Product of the month

Card with vellum – product of the month in May is the Berry Botanical Vellum specialty paper which you can get as a one time purchase for £5 on the proviso you submit an online order totalling £70 excluding shipping or coupons.

In order to make the vellum “pop”, especially printed vellum, you need to place card stock behind it, usually Basic White, but you can experiment with different coloured card stocks which coordinate with the printed vellum colour palette also.

I’ve done both so you can see the difference between the two. The vellum on the front was adhered with a coloured card stock background, and the one inside the card is against Basic White. Which do you prefer?
