I am posting a wee bit early tonight �. Hope you don�t mind
To all my New Orleans Saints fan friends�. Congrats!!
Today I am inviting you to try a technique that I came up with�. At least I have never seen it done before .
~~ Frosted Window ~~
This is a twist on stamping on vellum. I think the result is awesome!
You will need:
Cardstock
Vellum
Fast drying Ink
Stamps
Dimensional
Coloring medium of your choice
I have attached a word doc that shows the very simple process. I have also included the instructions on my blog, if you prefer (though I did not do this for comments, so please don�t feel that you need to comment. It just might be easier for some).
Fun with Velum! I hope to play this week. Thanks, Holly.

Sorry if I'm dumb.. but I don't want to assume. When you say "dimensionals" are these like pop dots or some sort of adhesive that pops up but adheres your paper? Just making sure. whenever I assume, it's ALWAYS wrong so I have learned NEVER to assume.
I'm getting you want to attach but provide a space between your frame and the vellum/image under it. right?
I wasnt' sure I was going to get this uploaded before leaving for work -- had a little uploading problem, but it finally posted. Cool technique, Holly. Here's my Frosted Spring Window.

You got it! Dimensionals is SU's name for the product.
This is a very nice technique, Holly. I'm going to try to make time to do it this week so I can particiapte in the challenge. May also share the technique with my friends during out weekly stamp club meeting if you don't mind.
I've tried twice, after getting home late and doing all the weekly chores.
First time, my vellum was too thick (the one I mostly use is really more like cardstock) and it didn't really work.
So then I found some thinner vellum with a pattern printed on it - but even after heat-setting and an hour's rest time, my ink smudged. It's too late for me to try again tonight, so I'll just enjoy seeing what other people have been creating.
This was a fun challenge, thanks so much for the technique. Here is mine it is frosted even though it didn't scan that way. I even glittered the center of the flowers from the back side.

Aww, Sabrina! I am so sorry you're having a tough time with it. I had the same issue with the first time I tried it. I learned quickly that the fast drying ink is a must. Even with the stazon ink, I had to let it dry for over an hour.
Perhaps you'll get a chance to try again some other time. We would love to see what you come up with!
Holly, you really challenged me today. I'm someone who rarely uses vellum. That I had to look for my vellum for a long time this morning is proof of that. I can't believe I made 2 cards using this technique. I like them both, but I think I am partial to my butterfly in blue.
