Forgeries on the 4th- Vellum shapes.

In our April Counterfeit kit there are several vellum elements.

As I want to use up what I already have, I've chosen to make my own vellum items.

Firstly I punched some flowers
 
 


Next I traced around some templates





And finally I used a Hot off the press Mini Envelopes template to make......mini envelopes!

I filled some with sequins, one has a rub on over the top, and I decorated others.


A tip I can give you is keep any "Negatives" from diecuts or chipboard in a plastic sleeve.
They can often be traced around and used for shapes.

These above vellum items will appear throughout this month on layouts etc.

Here's one example. Who can spot the mini envelope?
