Super Saturday with Pam – Super Samedis avec Pam

Welcome back to Super Saturday. Today I am using the beautiful bird stamp from Magenta’s most recent release of new stamps.

I used water-based TomBow markers to color the image on the back of vellum – I just love this technique. You can also use alcohol based markers or colored pencils - each medium provides a beautiful result. I cut a piece of 29# vellum to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. I used my powder tool very liberally over the surface, stamped the bird image using VersaMark, then sprinkled gold embossing powder over the top. To heat emboss the image I warmed up my heat gun for about 30 seconds then kept it moving over the entire surface of the paper to slowly melt the embossing powder without warping the vellum.

I selected several green markers and began coloring the leaves on the back side of the stamped image. It takes a bit longer for the ink to dry on the vellum which provides more time for blending the colors.

Once I completed the leaves I moved on to the bird, berries, and the fence posts. I wanted a colored background for the bird and at first I thought about coloring in that area on the vellum. Instead, I blended Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of white cardstock, putting the lighter color in the center, and the darker color around the outer edges. This piece will go under the vellum layer to provide blue shading.

I used 4 3/8” and 4 5/8” oval dies to create a frame for the bird. To create this look, I cut a piece of white cardstock and green cardstock to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. I used the 4 5/8” oval die to cut the opening in the white cardstock, then adhered this to the green cardstock. I centered the smaller oval die in the opening, taped it down and ran it through my die cut machine. Next, I adhered the bird, embossed side up, to the back of the frame, adhered this to the inked blue background and finally adhered them to the front of an A2 card.
